Habitat for Humanity of South Palm Beach County "Women Build" is a hands-on fundraising event in which individual empowered Women Builders each raise or contribute $1,000 each toward much needed funds to build a home for a hard-working, low income family in our community who is in need of simple, decent, affordable housing.
Empowered Women Builders may invite their friends and colleagues to also become Women Builders (each with their own $1,000 fundraising or giving commitment) to join up as a named Team, but everyone is still responsible for their own minimum commitment of $1,000. Women Builders can hold receptions to raise funds, do social media campaigns, etc.
Awards and recognition are given to the Women Builders who raise the most funds toward the home.
One of the best parts is each Women Builder participates in one half day of building that works best with her schedule. Women Builders earn their "Pink Hard Hats" and are invited to events throughout the year where they are recognized for being a member of the "Sisterhood of the Pink Hard Hats".
The funds raised during Women Build sponsor the materials needed for the home. Women Build brings together women leaders to build a home for a hard-working family in the South Florida community.
