ST. LOUIS (April 27, 2026)– With the charitable St. Jude Dream Home under roof, the Electrical Connection is installing electrical infrastructure in the home which, once completed, will benefit medical research and care for children facing critical health issues.  The IBEW/NECA partnership is installing wiring and electrical systems by donating services and materials to build the O’Fallon home which carries an estimated value of $680,000.  Proceeds from the sale of the home and ticket sales to win it will support St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital®. NECA-signatory Grasser Electric and its IBEW Local 1 workforce are performing interior and exterior electrical work on the 3,206-square-foot, ranch-style home for Fischer Homes. The Electrical Connection is a partnership of the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers (IBEW) Local 1 and the St. Louis Chapter of the National Electrical Contractors Association.

Emerging at 151 Cardow Dr. in the Streets of Caledonia subdivision, the home relies on the collective generosity and support of sponsors, trade partners, and the local community. Every dollar raised goes straight to St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital for funding research and providing care.  This is the 17^th year that the IBEW/NECA Electrical Connection has donated services and materials to build the home.

The home introduces The Emmet – English Elegance design and features four bedrooms, three bathrooms and a finished lower level. It includes a luxury bath, spacious living room and an upgraded kitchen. The lower level includes a bedroom, full bath and wet bar. The home also has a three-car garage.

Later this year, tickets will be available for a chance to win the home and other prizes at $100 each.  For more information, visit https://discover.fischerhomes.com/st-jude/st-louis-missouri-2024

St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital is leading the way the world understands, treats and defeats childhood cancer and other life-threatening diseases. It is the only National Cancer Institute-designated Comprehensive Cancer Center devoted solely to children. Treatments invented at St. Jude have helped push the overall childhood cancer survival rate from 20 percent to 80 percent since the hospital opened more than 50 years ago. St. Jude is working to drive the overall survival rate for childhood cancer to 90 percent, and we won’t stop until no child dies from cancer. St. Jude freely shares the discoveries it makes, and every child saved at St. Jude means doctors and scientists worldwide can use that knowledge to save thousands more children. Families never receive a bill from St. Jude for treatment, travel, housing or food – because all a family should worry about is helping their child live.
