Build – A – Thon Capital District Habitat for Humanity invites you to join our 1st annual BUILD-A-THON in April 2010! This is a unique opportunity to build relationships that will change our community. Much like sponsoring miles walked in a walk-a-thon, the BUILD-A-THON asks volunteers to engage friends and family in sponsoring their volunteer hours for Habitat. You've done walks and runs.... now you can build!! Companies, churches, civic groups and schools can form Build Teams and register to volunteer on the Habitat House construction site for a day (or more) in April. If you’re searching for a way to build morale and foster teamwork amongst your employees or members, join BUILD-A-THON, where your group will get to know each other better, discover more effective ways to communicate and learn to work more cooperatively (oh, and have a blast!). CLICK ON OUR BUILD-A-THON LINK FOR MORE INFORMATION!! |
