    CHICAGO (June 18, 2024) — Chicagoland Habitat for Humanity honored Nicor Gas and The Adler Family on June 13th at its ninth annual Habitat Hero Award Dinner, recognizing decades of leadership and commitment working with Habitat in the Chicago area and beyond. Over 320 guests gathered at the Four Seasons Hotel Chicago to toast the honorees and help celebrate the heroes that help Habitat for Humanity build strength, stability, and self-reliance through shelter. WGN anchor Micah Materre returned as master of ceremonies for the event. “The theme of this evening is ‘Building Sustainable Futures.’ And these two honorees have been pivotal in creating sustainability for families and communities – each in their own way.” Nicor Gas was honored for partnering with Habitat for Humanity to build 30 net zero homes in Aurora and Carpentersville, which will feature smart building exteriors, energy efficient heating and cooling, and back up energy solutions. “Together, Habitat for Humanity and Nicor Gas are building the first ever affordable net zero neighborhood in the state of Illinois and in the nation,” said Wendell Dallas, President and CEO of Nicor Gas. “It is our common belief that all people regardless of income level should have the same opportunity to live a sustainable lifestyle.” Chris Adler, owner of Adler Roofing & Sheet Medal, accepted the award on behalf of The Adler Family, which was celebrated for its role in founding the Will County Habitat affiliate in 1988 and its ReStore in 2010. Chris stated, “Our family is honored to partner with Habitat, and I’m urging you to get more involved with Habitat in your own communities.” The evening featured a video of Olimpia and the sustainable future she and her children now have through her new Habitat home – built with accessible design and purchased through an affordable mortgage. The event was capped off by a paddle auction that raised over $100,000 to support Habitat for Humanity in the region and generously matched by The Edwardson Family Foundation.
