Phoenix – November 06, 2026 -- Habitat for Humanity Central Arizona will host its Blueprints & Blue Jeans gala on Friday, March 5, 2027, from 6:00 to 10:00 PM at the Arizona Biltmore, with proceeds going to affordable housing and home repairs.
Two Habitat Heroes will be honored
This year's honorees are SRP, named Corporate Hero, and Corky Silver, named Individual Hero. Habitat selected one honoree from the corporate community and one from the individual giving community.
Todd Rogers, President & CEO of Habitat for Humanity Central Arizona, describes the evening as "a little less formal and a lot more fun" than a typical gala. He says it brings together supporters across the region to fund affordable homes, critical community repairs, and lasting stability.
The gala began as a fashion show at Neiman Marcus
The event traces its roots back more than 20 years to the Carpenter's Ball, first held at Neiman Marcus as a fashion show. It has since grown into one of the largest events in the region, drawing volunteers, donors, and community leaders to rally support for affordable housing.
Proceeds fund homeownership and repairs for seniors, veterans, and families
Money raised at Blueprints & Blue Jeans supports affordable homeownership and repair assistance for seniors, veterans, and families in need. Rogers says the organization is "ready for our best year yet."
Tickets, tables, and sponsorships are available through the organization's events page.
