Hot Mama Give Away
We are proud to host our Fourth Annual Hot Mama Giveaway, where we provide and install a brand-new furnace and air conditioner for a deserving mother in need.
How It Works
Local community members submit nominations for mothers facing hardship, and a third-party committee of local working moms carefully reviews each submission. The judges are instructed to consider all nominees objectively and without bias, ensuring a fair selection process based on qualifications and merit.
Judging Criteria
Submissions will NOT be judged based on:
-
Order of submission – Every nominee is considered equally, regardless of when they were nominated.
-
Quantity of submissions – While some mothers may receive multiple nominations, judges focus on the quality of the nomination rather than the number of submissions.
-
Grammar, spelling, or punctuation errors.
Instead, nominees are evaluated based on:
-
Financial hardship
-
Health or medical hardship (self, spouse, or children)
-
Living without proper heating or cooling
-
Dedication to giving back to others or the community
Past Impact
-
2022 – 92 nominations received
-
2023 – 110 nominations received
-
2024 – 122 nominations received
Each year, we are overwhelmed by the inspiring stories shared through this giveaway, and we are honored to make a meaningful difference in the life of a hardworking mother.

Hot Mama Giveaway Recipients
Each year, we are honored to provide a deserving mother with a brand-new furnace and air conditioning system, helping them create a more comfortable home during difficult times. Here are the incredible women we’ve had the privilege of supporting through our Hot Mama Giveaway.
2024 Recipient: Rachelle Lange
Rachelle is a loving mother and grandmother who has faced unimaginable challenges in recent years. After surviving a devastating car accident caused by a drunk driver, she has endured ongoing spinal injuries and health complications. Recently, she was diagnosed with breast cancer that has spread to her lymph nodes and has begun chemotherapy treatments.
Despite her struggles, Rachelle remains kind, thoughtful, and generous—a wonderful mother to three children, all of whom still live at home. With her central air unit no longer working and finances stretched thin, we were honored to provide her with a new HVAC system to help her focus on healing in comfort.
2023 Recipient: Jennifer Tarbox
Jennifer is a devoted mother of three who has been through years of hardship. After her furnace failed, financial struggles prevented her family from replacing it. Shortly after, she was diagnosed with breast cancer, leading to multiple surgeries, chemotherapy, and ongoing health complications.
As if that wasn’t enough, Jen’s husband, Matt, was in a serious car accident, leaving him with multiple broken bones and requiring months of hospitalization. Through it all, Jen has cared for her family with unwavering strength while enduring her own medical challenges, including a recent liver surgery.
Jennifer’s resilience and selflessness inspired us, and we were honored to install a new heating and cooling system to bring her family the comfort they deserve.
This giveaway continues to be a life-changing experience for both the recipients and our team. If you know a deserving mother in need, we encourage you to submit a nomination for this year’s giveaway.
