On March 17, 2016 we will be awarding our members with the biggest heart for housing at our Southern Home and Garden Bridge Awards gala. The annual gala is a black tie optional event where the nominees gather for an evening of food and celebration, but most importantly to hear who won the hearts of our judges with their projects from the previous year. Categories include: New Homes, Full Home Remodel, Partial Home Remodel, Green Building, Special Feature, Sales and Marketing, individual awards, and Home Builders Association recognition awards.
The Southern Home and Garden Bridge Awards gala at TD Convention Center will begin at 5:30 p.m. with dinner, followed by the awards ceremony where the 2015 Bridge Awards winners will be announced.
The Bridge Awards would also like to welcome back emcee Kimberly Kelly
For information, call the HBA of Greenville at (864) 254-0133. For tickets, click here.
Thank you to our members for their hard work in the industry and to our sponsors for helping us celebrate their work:
