Here's a fun video by David Oneal from the 2005 Project Playhouse featuring Angels in the Dugout. This was the beginning of HomeAid's partnership with Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim. There are two additional playhouses: 2006 A Day At The Big "A" and 2007 What A Playhouse!

Next year Project Playhouse will be 20 years old. Committee Co-Chairs John Racunas and Brandi Uehli are already working on plans to celebrate this very special event - Project Playhouse's 20th Anniversary.
One can only imagine the surprises playhouse builder teams will create. The official grand "Open House" - the only day the public can actually go inside the playhouses - will be spectacular.
There are wonderful memories from the 2010 Project Playhouse Open House. More than a thousand people toured the fantasy village in the Giant Wheel Court at Irvine Spectrum Center®. Many thanks to sponsor Zurich North America for helping HomeAid raise more than $10,000 on opening day.

2010 Project Playhouse had wonderful "Firsts" and one of the "Firsts" was the Private Project Playhouse Premiere Party. The night before the public Open House more than 100 special guests were the first people to enter the fantasy playhouse village and leisurely tour the seven custom-made playhouses.
2011 Private Premiere Party will be even more fun because it will launch the 20th Anniversary of Project Playhouse. Are you wondering how you can be invited to this exclusive party?

The 19th Annual Project Playhouse is over and has left everyone with wonderful memories. With the help of thousands of people (playhouse buyers, builders, sponsors, donors and everyone that bought village tour tickets and opportunity drawing tickets) the 2010 Project Playhouse raised more than $338,000 to support HomeAid Orange County's work to build housing for homeless families and individuals. There are so many people to thank for their incredible generosity. Throughout the coming months events (including sponsors) will be highlighted here weekly. Yes, it will take that long because there are so many generous individuals and companies. Be sure to check back often to see pictures and read about some of the incredible people that made this year's Project Playhouse a success.
Home Again, a music documentary produced by WeedPatch Productions, also, premiered at the event. The six minute film tells HomeAid's story and why HomeAid is dedicated to being a vital role in the elimination of homelessness.
2011 will mark the 20th Anniversary of HomeAid Orange County's Project Playhouse. Plans are already being drawn to make the 20th Annual Project Playhouse a spectacular event. Again, follow this blog for all the current updates.
HomeAid Orange County is the founding chapter of a national non-profit organization with the mission to build and maintain dignified housing where homeless families and individuals can rebuild their lives. HomeAid's vision is to be a vital force in eliminating homelessness with the belief every individual has worth and human dignity and deserves the basic provision of shelter as a necessity of life.
