The 2025 “Elev18 Hope” St. Jude Dream Home Giveaway house, built by sponsor De Young Properties was given away to John Jasper of Madera, who was selected as the lucky winner of the approximately 1,600 square foot home in the De Young Summerlin Walk located in Fresno during the May 4 Giveaway on FOX26.
With the incredible support of the community, who dug deep into their pockets and donated, the 2025 Central Valley St. Jude Dream Home Giveaway campaign successfully raised $803,500 for St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital. Our community should be applauded for using their hard-earned dollars to support this important cause.
A St. Jude Dream Home Builder reaches Zero Hero status by delivering a zero-cost home to St. Jude. This means that generous supporters in the builder's community completely donated all labor, materials, and supplies. Only a handful of our 45+ builders have ever achieved this status. De Young Properties has officially achieved ZERO HERO status with the 2025 Central Valley St. Jude Dream Home. This is only the second time this has been accomplished by a St. Jude builder in the state of California.

It’s All for the Kids!
De Young Properties has dedicated this year’s campaign to the inspiring children of St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital. One hundred percent of the proceeds of the giveaway were donated to St. Jude. Serving as major sponsor and builder of the St. Jude Dream Home Giveaway for the past 18 years, De Young Properties has successfully raised over $17.3 million for the hospital to date. This year, 10,000 tickets were available in the hopes of raising our goal of $1,000,000 to benefit St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, which works around the clock to develop cures to save the lives of boys and girls, including children in the San Joaquin Valley.
De Young Properties combines their contribution and efforts with the generous help of trade partners who also donated their time, labor and resources to build this quality crafted home.
“We’d like to extend our heartfelt gratitude to our trade partners, De Young team members, business affiliates and volunteers for their invaluable support in making another Central Valley St. Jude Dream Home a reality,” said Paula De Young, Co-Founder and Vice President of De Young Properties. “As a local homebuilder, we believe in the importance of giving back. Now in our eighteenth year of building St. Jude Dream Home houses, we are truly honored and humbled by the unwavering support from our community. Year after year, their generosity has helped us raise millions for St. Jude, contributing to lifesaving research that benefits children both in the Central Valley and around the world.”
