St. Charles residents invited to tour local homes for charity Friday

Kane County residents are invited to attend a Housewalk event in St. Charles to raise funds for cancer patients and their families on Friday, Sept. 15.

The house walk is organized by Phil’s Friends, a nonprofit organization out of Wheaton, that aims to provide Christ-centered support and hope to those affected by cancer.

Four St. Charles homes will be open to tour from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. and from 4 to 8 p.m. Participants can tour anytime within these time windows and tickets are must be bought to participate.

Tickets cost $100 per person, with discounted rates for multiple ticket purchases. VIP tickets are $300 per person, and sponsorship opportunities ranging from $300-$20,000 also are available.

Every ticket sold allows Phil’s Friends to support a cancer patient for a year with a care package, monthly cards of hope and prayer. VIP tickets support three patients for a year, and sponsorships help Phil’s Friends provide additional outreach and support to cancer patients and put on more charity events.
