This project, spearheaded by KATHY POWELL, Co-owner of Linn-Benton Coldwell Banker Valley Brokers, raised $37,000 for Benton Habitat for Humanity alone. With unbelievable dedication and perseverence, Kathy recruited her real estate agents, bankers, escrow agents, her huband, Tom, and family and friends to build two Habitat homes in Linn and Benton Counties.

In partnership with Kathy and Coldwell Banker Valley Brokers, TERESA ESTEGARD from Wells Fargo Home Mortgage, Corvallis, coordinated the Wells Fargo employee team, personally showed up for 20 construction days, and orchestrated a $17,500 Wells Fargo Grant to make this a reality.
