Home Builders Care - Annual Fund Drive - Help The Homeless Walkathon 2008

Home Builders Care Foundation's Annual Fall Fundraising Drive is held in conjunction with the Help the Homeless Walkathon, sponsored by the Fannie Mae Foundation.

For our eighth straight year, Home Builders Care Foundation (HBCF), the charitable outreach arm of the MNCBIA, has been selected as a beneficiary agency of Fannie Mae Foundation‚s Help the Homeless Walkathon (HTH Walkathon). The annual event is a fund-raising and awareness-raising program that culminates in a 5K Walk on the National Mall on the Saturday before Thanksgiving.

Mark Your Calendars for Saturday, November 22, 2008.

This year, our goal is once again raise over $100,000 for Home Builders Care in support of our ongoing and upcoming shelter-related projects. Last year, money raised through this important fund drive has helped HBCF undertake several shelter-related projects throughout the entire MNCBIA area.

Home Builders Care Foundation is able to raise money through this event in the following ways:

  1. WALKERS - JOIN OUR TEAM!  Individual walkers can join the Home Builders Care Team and earmark their financial support for HBCF when they register to walk. In addition, HBCF receives funds from walker and team-solicited contributions. Our team name is "Beneficiary - Home Builders Care Foundation - MD013" Click to walk or make a donation in support of our team or a walker! Once on the HBCF Team Page, click "Join team" in the left column

  2. CONTRIBUTIONS DIRECTLY TO HBCF and our TEAM (preferred) - HBCF is asking that all contributions (100% tax-deductible) be made directly to HBCF.
