Parade of Porsches to Welcome Mulrain Family into New Habitat for Humanity Home in Chesapeake

NORFOLK, VA (March 18, 2019) – A homecoming parade is coming to Chesapeake on Saturday, March 30 but not the kind you might expect.

That’s because members of the Porsche Club of America – First Settlers Region will drive 20 Porsche sport cars up and down Marcus Street in the Crestwood area of Chesapeake to celebrate the Mulrain family as new homeowners through Habitat for Humanity of South Hampton Roads.

The local Porsche club is an integral part of this particular Habitat home as the organization raised over $70,000 in monetary and material donations from its members to support the cause. The club members also spent hundreds of collective hours volunteering on the construction site.

All the fundraising and home building will conclude with a home dedication ceremony at 2 p.m. on Saturday, March 30 at the house (527 Marcus Street).

“We are so grateful to the Porsche Club of America – First Settlers Region,” says Frank Hruska, Executive Director of Habitat for Humanity of South Hampton Roads. “They have been a perfect partner and a great example of how community groups and Habitat SHR can work together.”

Media is encouraged to arrive no later than 1:30 p.m. on Saturday, March 30 to capture the “Porsche parade” and then the dedication ceremony.
