The Homes For The cure event was a resounding success!

The numbers are in. Between February 18th and 26th, 2012, over 5,000 people toured three sensational model homes, built by Centerline Homes at Eagle Creek Golf & Country Club in the Lake Nona area of Orlando.

The Concept Series homes, sponsored by Builder magazine, featured homes designed for the specific lifestyles of 3 distinct generations – Baby Boomers, Generation X and Generation Y.  After a private showing to the delegates of the International Builders Show, the three homes were unveiled to the public with a $5.admission fee with all proceeds going to Susan G. Komen for the Cure.  Centerline Homes is proud to be the Concept Home builder and was excited to join with Susan G. Komen for the Cure in the fight against breast cancer.
