August 23, 2008 - Habitat for Humanity 5th Annual Build A Thon
The
Hawaii Habitat for Humanity Build-a-Thon is a public awareness and fund
raising event on behalf of Habitat for Humanity affiliates across the state
of Hawaii. The Build-a-thon provides an opportunity for Habitat supporters
to raise money and help build homes with people in need. Although this event
will occur statewide, all funds generated on Maui will support Habitat’s
efforts to eliminate substandard housing on Maui.
You
can organize a build team of ten volunteers to work on the day of the Build-a-thon.
Each build site will be able to accommodate two build teams of ten volunteers
each. Each builder/participant will
be asked to solicit pledges from their friends and family. Pledges can be
made based on "hours spent building" or as a flat sum. Prizes will be awarded
to builder/participants based on total pledges solicited.
We require that each builder/participant solicit a minimum
of $100 in pledges.
In
addition to a Habitat t-shirt and hat, continental breakfast, entertainment,
prizes, and lunch by Outback Steakhouse are some things you can expect on
that day. You will also walk away with the satisfaction of knowing that
you contributed to providing needed shelter to a Maui family. The following
is an idea of how the day will unfold:
- 7:30 – 8:30am: Registration (Waiehu Kou IV Entrance
to Akule Place) - 7:30-8:30am: Continental Breakfast (Waihee Park)
- 8:45am: Blessing (Waihee Park)
- 9:00am-1:00pm: Build (Waiehu Kou IV)
- 1:00pm-2:00pm: Lunch/Program/Entertainment (Waihee Park)

of March, 2008
The Sacred Garden of Maliko features the art work of Leslie LeCornu, a Maui artist specializing in creating beautiful paintings with re-used and recycled materials throughout the month of March. The Sacred Garden of Maliko is located at 460 Kaluanui Road in Makawao. LeCornu is passionate about the re-use and revitalization of existing resources. She has dedicated her exhibition to raising awareness for Habitat for Humanity's ReStore in Wailuku, where building materials are donated and offered for sale at affordable prices, which generates the funding for Habitat for Humanity's local building program, putting low income local families into homes of their own.
