Proceeds from the event will go to a new roof for The House that Lulu Built. Their goal is to raise $20,000.

What is The House that Lulu Built? It is a local nonprofit grief care home in Greenville. They host grief care classes and invite the community share stories of the loved ones they lost too early. They celebrate those lives and their ongoing love for them. The House that Lulu Built also provides a home for families who come into town so they can stay together for funeral services.

Since opening their doors in 2019, they have served over 50 families.

Although it wasn’t until 2019 when the the House opened, the organization had its beginning nine-years earlier when Lulu Grace passed away. She was born with an extra chromosome and survived for 62 days. During that two-month span, she made an indelible impression on her family and friends.

The organizers of The House that Lulu Built understand that loss is painful, but there is a benefit in talking and listening to others who understand the struggles with grief.
