Once again, the Child Advocates of Fort Bend Christmas Home Tour Committee has outdone itself in assembling a dazzling array of homes for guests to tour. Homeowners and their decorators have gone the extra mile to show off these homes in Christmas splendor. Tickets to the Christmas Home Tour are now available online at www.cafb.org.Tickets can also be purchased at the Randalls locations in First Colony and Pecan Grove. In addition, tickets are available at the Sienna HomeFinder Center, Twenty-Two Fifty Interiors, Magpies (Sugar Land), Hello Beautiful, Feather & Nest Interiors, the Del Webb Club House and Fabulous You. Tickets are $30. There is no better way to get into the holiday spirit than attending the 28th Anniversary Christmas Home Tour. Presenting Sponsor for this event is the Fred and Mabel R. Parks Foundation.

All $350+ level sponsors are invited to the Sponsor Party on Sunday, December 8th at The Design Firm in Sugar Land. “Sponsorships are critical to the success of the Tour,” stated Child Advocates of Fort Bend Development Director Lisa Moore. “We work hard to keep our expenses low so that 94% of the money raised through this event goes directly toward programs and services for the children we serve. Without the help of our many generous sponsors, we wouldn’t be able to count on this event to help fund our programs.” If you would like to attend, you still have time to become a sponsor. Sponsorship opportunities from $100 – $10,000 are still available. For more information on sponsorships contact Lisa Moore at lmoore@cafb.org.

The 2018 Tour will feature distinctive homes in Alkire Lake, Sugar Creek, Sweetwater and Sienna Plantation beautifully decorated for the holidays. Tour guests will be treated to a rare glimpse of these lovely homes, and will enjoy festive entertainment, beautiful holiday decorations, tasty home-made cookies, bites from Dream Dinners – Missouri City, treats from Southern Ice Cream and refreshments from Minute Maid.

The event runs Friday and Saturday from 10am until 4pm with a twinkling candlelight tour on Friday night from 6pm to 9pm. One ticket provides admission to all homes and can be used at any time during the tour. The addresses of the homes are on the back of the tickets.

In addition to the Tour, CAFB has a fun wreath raffle.  You can check out 14 wreaths designed by decorators and volunteers online at www.cafb.org. The wreaths will be displayed in homes during the home tour. One of the wreaths can be yours – all you need to do is purchase a raffle ticket. For more information about the wreath raffle contact Lisa Moore at lmoore@cafb.org. Raffle tickets are available at the Sienna Plantation HomeFinder Center, all of the home on the Christmas Home Tour and online at https://www.cafb.org/events/home-tour/wreath-raffle/.
