Today marks the first day of Tent-a-Thon 2012!  Campers will converge at Tawasentha Park to show their commitment to eliminating poverty and sub-standard housing  by giving up the comforts of their home and sleeping in tents.

Each participant collects pledges from family, friends and co-workers for each night they will be tenting.  All money raised for this event will help Habitat for Humanity build homes for hardworking families.

This fun-filled, family friendly event will be packed with food, music, games and entertainment. Who wouldn’t want to spend a summer night camping out for a good cause?  Come join the excitement!  It’s not too late to sign up at: http://www.capitaldistricthabitat.org/events/tent-a-thon/
