Centennial Parade of Homes to benefit St. John’s Children’s Hospital

SPRINGFIELD, IL – The community is invited to tour recently constructed homes in the Centennial Park Place Subdivision (located adjacent to Hope Church on Lenhart Road) and help raise money for a new dedicated pediatric emergency room waiting area at St. John’s Children’s Hospital.

The Centennial Parade of Homes will include eight professionally decorated homes with children’s themed bedrooms and unique designs. All homes are for sale.

Dates for the event are May 9 – 11, and again May 16 – 18.

The homes will be open on Fridays from 4 p.m. – 7 p.m., and Saturdays and Sundays from 11 a.m. – 5 p.m.  A “Design on Our Dime” drawing will be held for a chance to win a $500 gift card and free two-hour design consultation by a professional decorator.

Tickets are available on site at a price of $5. All proceeds will benefit St. John’s Children’s Hospital. For more information, go to www.centennialparkplace.com, or call (217) 525-7158.
