Build With Habitat in the Heart of Downtown Madison
Habitat for Humanity of Dane County has a very cool sponsorship opportunity coming up this summer. During the Farmer’s Market on July 27, we are going to “Frame-Up” a Habitat home in between the Capitol Building and Monona Terrace on the 100 block Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd.
This will be, hands-down, our largest and most visible event, with thousands of market goers seeing us stand up the walls of an entire Habitat home in the middle of the street. What a great way to show the community that your company is investing in affordable housing solutions in Dane County!
Limited sponsorships are available for $5,000, which include volunteer spots, signage, and media support. Please let us know if you might be interested so we can hold a spot for your company.
