Ticket sales are now underway for the 2026 Monroe St. Jude Dream Home, and organizers say 9,000 tickets will be available this year – an increase from the 8,500 offered previously.
Ruston’s Zeta Rho chapter of Epsilon Sigma Alpha is once again leading the volunteer effort, handling ticket processing and coordinating Open house tours. Z107.5 continues as the exclusive radio partner, helping spread the word about the annual fundraiser.
This year’s Dream Home, built by BRACO Construction, is located at 9073 DeSiard Trace in Sterlington’s DeSiard Trace subdivision. The upscale cottage-style home has an estimated value of $525,000. Among its features are a custom built-in banquette breakfast nook off the kitchen, a spacious walk-in pantry and a private study area apart from the living spaces.
