100K in 100 Days Turns Into 100K in 49 Days
100 Women fund a house for a deserving family
Habitat for Humanity Regina is thrilled to announce that 100 women have contributed $1000 each towards our “100K in 100 Days” project to provide another hard-working, low-income family with an opportunity for home-ownership. Kicking- off the project November 1st, a committee of women (Trish Bezborotko, Yvonne Slobodian, Nicole Richard, Kayla Mackay, Susan Hertz and Andrea Hoffman) set a goal of engaging 100 women to donate by February 8th 2012.
100 women signed on in just 49 days to reach the $100,000 goal. A celebration event, presented by Essence Organic Hair and Day Spa, is planned for late January in the Rockbridge Realty building. The home build will begin in late spring. All of the ladies, who contributed to this project, plan to work on the build site throughout the summer months with an estimated completion date in September 2012.
“I am over-the-top excited,” said Trish Bezborotko, Director of Fund Development with Habitat for Humanity Regina. “An amazing group of women stepped up so quickly to make this build happen and because of that another hard-working, low-income family with achieve home ownership. I look forward to working with all of these women who feel equally as passionate about helping another Regina family and feel fortunate and grateful for their generosity.”
The idea for the fundraiser was born after local business owner Yvonne Slobodian, of MYDR Health Management Group, U of R Allied Health Centre, Omni Surgery Centre, and asOne Investments expressed an interest in working with Habitat for Humanity Regina. “I wanted to help Habitat for Humanity Regina
do something big – I wanted to see another family achieve their goal of becoming home-owners. So, Trish and I started an email and phone call campaign
and here we are 49 days later with the goal achieved and the focus now shifting to the build itself. Truly, I am not surprised at the enthusiasm from this
group of ladies.”
