"Austin is one of America's most dynamic cities and was the perfect location for our next dream house. This home is truly spectacular and will make one lucky winner's dreams come true, while also supporting our long-time friends at Folds of Honor. We anticipate customers will find this to be one of our most popular offerings to date, and are thrilled to be able to support the veteran community in this way." -- Matt Pohlson, CEO and Co-Founder of Omaze.

Every donation supports Folds of Honor in its mission to provide educational scholarships to the spouses and children of America's fallen or disabled service members. Folds of Honor has already provided over 500 scholarships in the Austin area to date, which have helped to ease some of the financial burden of education during unimaginably difficult times for families.

"Our long-standing collaboration with Omaze has already raised $1.6 million and helped provide scholarships to 320 widows and children of brave service men and women across the U.S. We believe in honoring the sacrifices of military veterans by supporting their families, and know that this Austin house giveaway will have an incredible impact for so many within the veteran community." -- Ben Leslie, EVP of Folds of Honor.

Donations raised from this sweepstakes will continue to bring funds and awareness to this important cause. The giveaway runs through October 10, 2021. For more information, to enter for your chance to win, or to read the full rules please visit www.omaze.com/austin.
