At this event, The Building Hope with Families capital campaign co-chairs Jacqueline Pennington and Greg Campbell along with their children and the campaign cabinet revealed the completed giant thermometer, with a total of $420,900 raised towards the 2.5-million-dollar 7-unit Net Zero Townhome Baltimore project.
