PALM DESERT, Calif. (KESQ) – Construction moved forward on the 2026 St. Jude Dream Home in Palm Desert as crews laid down the cement foundation on Thursday.
This is the 7th annual St. Jude Dream Home giveaway, a partnership between News Channel 3 and St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital to help families of children battling cancer.
The home is being built by GHA Companies inside the Silver Spur Ranch community in Palm Desert, walking distance from The Living Desert Zoo and Gardens.
Solis Concrete Company poured the concrete – Owner Christian Solis says of working with St. Jude, “This is actually a really big thing for us, you know, the whole company, and . . . it’s a pleasure, you know, it’s an honor to be working with the St. Jude Hospital with the children from there.”
When it’s finished, the home will be worth about $1.25 million. It’s a single-story home plan with three bedrooms, three and a half bathrooms, an extra flex room, open floor plan, and a three car garage.
Tickets go on sale for $100 on December 5th. There will be a series of early prize deadlines leading up to the big giveaway on March 10th, 2026, live on News Channel 3.
