Thank you Mirehaven friends and neighbors for helping us raise $74,233!
At the Grand Finale event on Saturday, September 13th, we presented a check to the Greater Albuquerque Habitat for Humanity in the sum of $65,000. BUT--after more funds arrived, and expenses were paid, another $9,233 was sent to Habitat several weeks later. This is a record-breaking amount raised by MGB since we started fundraising for local charities in 2017. Thank you, thank you, thank you to everyone who made this possible.

HOW DID WE DO IT?
How did we raise $74,233 in 2025? By hosting a variety of fun events for our Mirehaven friends and neighbors. Here's a list of the events and projects MGB sponsored in 2025.
• SUPER BOWL PARTY • JAZZ CONCERT • BINGO • GARDEN TOUR • SILENT AUCTION
• GARAGE SALE • PET CALENDAR • DONATE DAY • LIVE AUCTION
• TRIVIA NIGHT • OSCAR BUTLER CONCERT • BAKE SALES • RAFFLES
Funds raised from our MGB efforts were directed to their Critical Systems Replacement Program, designed to assist elderly seniors, veterans, and/or cost-burdened lower-income homeowners with needed repairs to their homes.
