betting on habitat



The San Gabriel Valley can “bet” on Habitat for Humanity to be continuously building homes for deserving and hard-working families. On May 1, hundreds of guests came to Santa Anita Race Track’s Club Court for fun, music, food, races and camaraderie.  The Del Grosso family, who just moved into their Habitat home in Monrovia, shared their touching story of their journey to homeownership.  The event also featured a buffet lunch, visits from two retired jockeys, a handicapper, auction, a jazz band and live feeds from the Kentucky Derby and other races.
Thank you to Juanita St. John, Betty Sandford and the rest of the Kentucky Derby Committee for planning a successful Derby day!  The event raised $14,000 to advance the cause and mission of San Gabriel Valley Habitat for Humanity!
