Fischer Homes is proud to celebrate two meaningful milestones: receiving the St. Jude 20-Year Partnership Award at the 2026 St. Jude Builder Summit in Memphis, Tennessee, and completing another successful St. Jude Dream Home Giveaway campaign across the communities we serve.
In 2026, the three Fischer Homes St. Jude Dream Homes raised a combined $4.06 million for St. Jude Children's Research Hospital. The campaign included homes in Cincinnati, St. Louis and Louisville, bringing together trade partners, vendors, sponsors, associates and community members in support of St. Jude's mission.
Celebrating the 2026 St. Jude Dream Home campaign
This year's campaign results reflect the generosity and dedication of each participating community:
- Cincinnati raised $1.48 million.
- St. Louis raised $1.68 million.
- Louisville raised $900,000.
Together, these efforts raised $4.06 million to support St. Jude's work researching, treating and finding cures for childhood cancer and other life-threatening diseases.
Fischer Homes is especially proud to be the only builder to build three St. Jude Dream Homes in a single year. Each home represents an extraordinary team effort, from donated materials and skilled labor to community members who purchase tickets and help spread the word about the giveaway.
A partnership that began in Cincinnati
Fischer Homes built its first St. Jude Dream Home in Cincinnati in 2003. Since then, we have had the privilege of raising more than $39.36 million to support St. Jude Children's Research Hospital.
Receiving the St. Jude 20-Year Partnership Award is a meaningful recognition of the commitment shared by Fischer Homes and St. Jude. It honors more than two decades of partnership, but it also reflects the contributions of the many people who have made each campaign possible.
We could not do this without our dedicated trade partners and vendors, whose time, talent and resources help bring each home to life. We are equally grateful to the communities in Cincinnati, St. Louis and Louisville, where people continue to show up, purchase tickets and support the St. Jude Dream Home Giveaway year after year.
Supporting St. Jude's lifesaving mission
Jude's work extends beyond childhood cancer to include other life-threatening diseases that affect children. When the hospital opened its doors, the childhood cancer survival rate was approximately 20%. Today, more than 80% of children with cancer survive. This progress has been made possible by the research, treatments and cures developed through St. Jude's work.
Jude patients and their families never receive a bill for treatment, travel, housing or food. That commitment allows families to focus on caring for their children while St. Jude researchers and clinicians continue working toward a future where no child dies from cancer or another life-threatening disease.
Fischer Homes is honored to play a role in supporting that mission. Every home built, ticket purchased and partnership formed helps St. Jude continue its groundbreaking work for children and families everywhere.
Looking ahead
The 2026 campaign was a powerful reminder of what is possible when builders, trade partners, vendors and communities come together for a shared purpose. From the first Fischer Homes St. Jude Dream Home built in Cincinnati to this year's three-market campaign, our partnership has continued to grow and make a meaningful difference.
We are grateful to St. Jude Children's Research Hospital, our trade partners and vendors, our associates and every community member who supported the 2026 St. Jude Dream Home Giveaway. Fischer Homes looks forward to continuing this partnership and building more homes, hope and support for St. Jude in the years ahead.
