Thanks for making She Nailed It! 2026 a smashing success!
The Women build Group held their annual She Nailed It! Competition on Saturday May 2nd in the warehouse in Stratford, CT. Since 2001, Women Build has empowered women across Coastal Fairfield County to fundraise, volunteer, and build affordable homes for local families.
She Nailed It! 2026 brought some fierce competition as 12 teams—each made up of four incredible women—hammered their way through the brackets, all hoping to take home the coveted Bedazzled Hammer Awards. The Habitat CFC Women Build Group didn’t just bring the energy—they exceeded their $25,000 fundraising goal, showing the same determination and grit they bring to every monthly build day.
In 2026, we grew to 12 teams (up from 8 in 2025!), including: Cross Private Client Insurance, This Is Not a Drill, Hamm Her Time, Hardhat Honeys, The “Housecoats,” Kelly Higgins Team, Lighthouse KEY-pers, PB Nail Drivers!, RMA, Team McGovern, UBS Hammering for Homes, and UBS Ultimate Nailers.
