Every year, a portion of the proceeds from Parade of Homes ticket sales benefit the Home Builders Foundation of Metro Denver (HBF). The Foundation's mission is to use the unique resources of the Denver metro home building industry to provide accessible and improved housing environments for individuals and families affected by long-term disabilities. In 2007, the Foundation completed 40 projects, with a total value of nearly $700,000; of that value over $500,000 were donations of labor and/or materials.
