Habitat CFC Annual Gala 2026- April 11 House of Fashion
April 11, 2026 6:00 - 10:30 pm
Bridgeport, CT, USA
Habitat CFC's Annual Gala - House of Fashion!
On Saturday, April 11, 2026, Habitat CFC's Annual Gala Fundraiser will be celebrated in style with a House of Fashion event at the Hyatt Regency Greenwich in Old Greenwich, CT. Since 1985, we have been partnering with families to create strength, stability, and self-reliance through homeownership. We hope you will consider attending or supporting our Annual Gala. Your participation helps us continue to do our important work.
As part of the House of Fashion-themed Annual Gala, Habitat CFC will present a one-of-a-kind fashion show featuring the people who make our work possible-homeowners, volunteers, staff, and Board members.
Each person who walks our runway represents a story of dedication, resilience, and community. Just as every Habitat home is unique, so too are the individuals behind it. Join us as they take the stage in fashions as distinctive and inspiring as the people who wear them.
