National League Rookie of the Year Ryan Braun Gifted His Bonus Money to Habitat Following His Experience as a House Leader at 2007 JCWP

Last fall when thousands of volunteers joined President Jimmy Carter & Habitat for Humanity of Greater Los Angeles to build 100 homes thoughout the community, one volunteer was significantly moved.



Ryan Braun was an Honorary House Leader during the JCWP and for those of you who don't know the name, Braun plays for the Milwaukee Brewers and was voted National League Rookie of the Year last year in 2007!



When Braun built with us last fall, he pledged he'd donate his Rookie of the Year bonus money to Habitat so we could further our mission and this week he did just that. You can read the official press release here.



We just wanted to say to Ryan, on behalf of all our current and future partner families, THANK YOU!
