The Foundation presented its annual Community Champion Award, the Founder's Award, and the Spirit Award
“I am honored to recognize this year’s award recipients for being true champions in supporting the mission of Opens Doors,” said Debra W. Still, CMB, president and CEO of Pulte Mortgage and Chairman of the Foundation’s Board of Directors. “These unprecedented times significantly impact Opens Doors’ families, and I am so grateful that this year’s award recipients have elevated their commitment to the Foundation and to families in need of housing assistance.”
Spirit Award recognizes a group of individuals, from one or more organizations, whose enthusiasm and support for Opens Doors brought new people and organizations to the Opens Doors roster of supporters, and whose efforts amplified the impact the Foundation has on vulnerable families in America.

With its steady support, the Foundation was able to establish a partnership with Boston Children’s Hospital in 2016.
