The Build-a-Thon is an exciting community event that brings together volunteers, donors and community supporters to raise money and awareness for Habitat for Humanity. Much like a Walk-a-Thon, Build-a-Thon volunteers will engage family and friends to sponsor their volunteer hours with Habitat.
Just a little bit of your time could change the lives of families in your own community. Think about it this way: If 25 of your friends or colleagues gave just $10 each, you would raise $250 for Habitat homeowners! Multiply that by the approximately 500 people participating in the Build-a-Thon. THAT'S $125,000 - the cost of an entire Habitat house!
Who: Every Habitat partner volunteering during the Build-a-Thon (and beyond).
What: Volunteers work on site, in the office, at the Outlet or as event support and have friends, family and colleagues sponsor their hours by donating to Habitat through a personal fundraising webpage.
Where: All Habitat volunteer sites throughout King County including construction, office, Outlet and event supporters.
When: September 17th - September 26, 2010 (sites are open all week) 8:30 AM - 4:00 PM or alternative dates and times as arranged with the affiliate.
