Habitat for Humanity – New York City is pleased to announce our Singles Build on Saturday, March 22, 2008.
Come have fun building affordable housing while meeting other socially-conscious young professional singles. We are looking for 25 women and 25 men to become construction-workers-for-a-day. To keep the event balanced, we ask you sign up with an unattached friend of the opposite sex.
Singles will learn how to install metal framing or hang drywall, working in a small team in the morning and changing teams in the afternoon.
To participate in this build:
You must be a single man or single woman between the ages of 21 to 40
Must bring an unattached friend of the opposite sex between the ages of 21 to 40
Raise a minimum on $300 per pair
Be able to pound, haul and lift for seven hours
Due to the size of the building - and to ensure site safety - we can only accommodate 25 volunteers pairs. Habitat-NYC will provide lunch, a t-shirt and lots of mingle time.
When you sign up to raise a hammer on the first-ever Singles Build, you also commit to raise a minimum of $300 (per pair) that helps build affordable housing in New York City for low-income working families in need. Only one person from the pair should register and create a fundraising page. To secure your spots, the pair must have the minimum $300 goal in by Friday, March 7, 2008.
Space is limited. Volunteer slots may fill up prior to Friday, March 7, 2008 - So begin your fundraising today!
