BAKERSFIELD, Calif. (KBAK/KBFX) The 22nd annual St. Jude Dream Home Giveaway in Bakersfield concluded with one lucky winner, Noe Torres, receiving the keys to a brand-new home built by John Balfanz Homes.
The event, which supports St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, began in August with the unveiling of the home and a community floor-signing event.
By September, the three-bedroom, two-bathroom house, spanning approximately 1,850 square feet, was completed and fully furnished.

A surprised Noe responded, “You’re kidding?”
