The 2021 Copper Project is now underway, with the ground being broken on a new custom home in the Forest Park Subdivision.
For the past two years, CopperFalls Custom Homes has been building a home and selling it off with net proceeds going towards the Spirit of the North Healthcare Foundation.
The first year, $90,000 was allocated towards Breast Health Imaging, a Dedicated Maternal Operating room and four Ortho Video Operating Room Towers.
For the third time around, Copper Falls is hoping to beat their fundraising record of $100,000 set last year that went towards Paediatrics, Mental Health and Wellness and Cardiac Care.
Until the home is complete, it won’t be known exactly how much funding will be provided to Spirit of the North or specifically where it will go within the foundation.
“At the end, we sit down and see what campaigns Spirit of the North is trying to close out,” explained Copper Falls Co-Owner, Jeff Stewart.
Around 45 contractors and suppliers will be working with CopperFalls to build the 4 bed/3 bath 3,085 square foot house.
“We talk to a lot of our trades and suppliers guys that have been involved with the project to see if anything happens over the course of the year where one area of Health Care might touch some guys more than others,” he explained.
Both of the previous projects were built in the Aberdeen subdivision, and this year’s home will be located at #130 – Cowart Road.
Spirit of the North CEO Judy Neisser says the Copper Project this year is the biggest one yet, with more contractors and suppliers joining in than ever before.
“People are still finding ways to support health care and in a climate like this, of course, health care touches everybody and while COVID is the most prominent, it’s not the only illness touching people so all of us at Spirit of the North are extremely grateful,” she added.
The house is now on the market and updates on the construction of the home will be available on the Spirit of the North website.
