2015 Women Build

May 6, 7, 8, 9, 2015

Levittown & Ivyland, PA

Substandard housing is a severe threat to childrens health,

growth, and potential.

YOU are a strong woman, with the capability

and determination necessary

to make a difference in the lives of these children forever!

Congratulations on taking the first steps toward helping to

eradicate substandard housing for children in our

communities!

Habitat for Humanity's Women Build program promotes the

involvement of women in the construction of Habitat homes.

Women Build works to recruit, nurture, and train women to

build and maintain simple, decent, healthy and affordable

homes for neighbors in need.

Each team member or individual builder raises a minimum of

$100 to secure her volunteer spot for Women Build week*,

which will support the building of Habitat homes throughout

Bucks County. May 6, 7, 8, or 9, 2015, from 8:20am -4:00pm.

*Note: Top fundraisers will be offered the Saturday date first. This will be a

whole home walls build off site in Ivyland, PA. HUGE!

Women Build does not exclude men, but encourages

women to become empowered to break down stereotypes

and show what we can do when we come together!

So whats in it for me with all this fundraising? YOU will be creating opportunities for deserving families

YOU will be part of a TEAM

YOU will have an empowering experience

YOU will network in a whole new way

SNACKS/LUNCH/FOOD! Raise the minimum $100 and receive a Women Build t-shirt

and rally towel.

The top fundraising gal will also receive a special prize!

Remember the more you raise, the more Habitat can help families with a hand up, not a hand out.
