The mouth-watering city of holiday-inspired gingerbread houses is both a creative and a charitable endeavor: the professionals who donated their time and exceptional talents to build their dream houses are also donating the proceeds from the silent auction to the Phoenix Children’s Hospital.
We were able to raise $850 for Phoenix Children’s Hospital. Thank you to everyone who participated! We’ll be holding the contest & silent auction again next year and hope to raise even more money to support PCH. The traditional Biltmore Gingerbread house is still on display in the main lobby thru New Year’s as well as the replica of the “Arizona Biltmore”.
