Many Kansas Citians dream of living in a new home from one of the area’s most respected residential builders. Others simply dream of a break from coping with a serious illness.
Dusty Rhodes Homes in Leawood is committed to turning both dreams into reality.
“As a family run-business, we wanted to partner with an organization that serves our community and impacts the lives of those it helps,” says Lindy Rhodes, partner at Dusty Rhodes Homes. “We’re pleased to announce our 2020 charitable home event partner, the Make-A-Wish Foundation of Missouri and Kansas. We have broken ground on our newest custom home, the Carmel plan, which will host this fall’s event. Our goal in partnering with Make-A-Wish is to bring awareness to this outstanding charity and raise funds to help make local wishes come true.”
Make-A-Wish fulfills life-changing wishes for children with critical illnesses. Their goal to help them bring every eligible child's wish to life, believing that a wish is an integral part of a child's treatment journey. Research shows that children who have wishes granted can build the physical and emotional strength they need to fight a critical illness. Since 1983, the local chapter has granted more than 8,800 wishes to local children with critical illnesses.
As the Kansas City homebuilding market continues to boom, Dusty Rhodes Homes, featuring the Allure Luxury Series, continues to break new ground.
