TOMO MILICEVIC'S BIRTHDAY CARD!
DEADLINE TO PARTICIPATE: CLOSED
We've done it for Shannon, we've done it for Jared, so let's show our support for our amazing guitarist Tomo! Tomo has always been super supportive of the project, including signing items for us to be put up for sale in order to raise money for the cause. Anyone who donates will have their name put on a card for his birthday! Our goal is to finish House 27 in time for Tomo's birthday.
*Note: Aug 30th - there were some issues earlier with the donation link, but it seems to be fixed. Let's get this house finished!*
Donate here
Just as a clarification, this will be an e-card, similar to what we have done in the past for Shannon and Jared, not a physical project like the HFH Card.
If you'd like to participate, all you have to do is donate before SEPTEMBER 2nd to help out the house, and email me to let me know you'd like your name to be included in the card (send your name/board name, city and country). ANY donation during this time period qualifies (purchasing stuff for sale, etc), just make sure that you email me and let me know you want to be included!
SHANNON LETO'S BIRTHDAY CARD!
DEADLINE TO PARTICIPATE: CLOSED
What better way to show your support for Shannon than to donate to the Echelon House for his birthday?! Our goal is to finish House 25 (complete!) and House 26 (complete!) by Shannon's birthday on March 9th. Anyone who donates will have their name put on a card for his birthday!
Donate here
Just as a clarification, this will be an e-card, which is a bit different than the "HFH card" project below.
If you'd like to participate, all you have to do is donate before MARCH 9th to help out one of our houses, and email me to let me know you'd like your name to be included in the card. ANY donation during this time period qualifies (purchasing stuff for sale, etc), just make sure that you email me and let me know you want to be included!
30 SECONDS TO MARS' CHRISTMAS CARD + JARED LETO'S ECHELON HOUSE BIRTHDAY CARD = better than cake!
DEADLINE TO PARTICIPATE: CLOSED
Want to get the band a present for Christmas? Not sure what to get Jared for his birthday? What better gift to give than a donation to the Echelon House?! And now there are TWO cards you can be in - a Christmas card for the band, and a birthday card for Jared.
Just as a clarification, these will be e-cards, which is a bit different than the card project below.
If you'd like to participate, all you have to do is donate before DECEMBER 20th to help out one of our houses, and email me to let me know you'd like your name to be included in the cards. ANY donation during this time period qualifies (purchasing stuff for sale, etc), just make sure that you email me and let me know you want to be included!
HFH CARD: An international experiment.
DEADLINE TO PARTICIPATE: CURRENTLY NO DEADLINE. PROJECT HAS RESTARTED in 2010!
Let's be honest. We all love getting things, sending things, and having fun. As a result, presented to you is the Habitat for Humanity "Around the World" Card. It's a bit of fun and a bit of love, with a personal touch (that's me with the card before it got sent out!).
Although the original cards went missing, we're going to give it a go again! It will be just one 'card' this time (in the form of a small book) and we'll track the progress on twitter and in the newsletter. **If you have already signed up from before, you are still on the list, no need to resubmit**
Want to participate? Here's what you need to do:
-Send your full mailing address to [email protected] with the subject "HFH CARD- ADDRESS." Please note that once you send your address, you will be committed to participating.
-Since all countries have slightly different formatting, please make sure it's in the exact format (including country) that it needs to be on the envelope. 30STM message board names (if you have one) and/or twitter names are encouraged as an additional piece of info, but are obviously not mandatory.
-When you receive the 'card' in the mail, email [email protected] with the subject "HFH CARD RECEIVED"
-Include in your email a photo of yourself holding the book, so we can track the progress around the world!
-Sign the enclosed card with something that is HFH-house related and/or whatever it is that makes you and your life on mars so much fun. Don't know what to write? An easy one is what you like about this project. Or, just write your name and/or location, that's fine too! If you can, include a stamp from your country as well.
-You will be given the address of the next person to send it to. That's it, you're done! The only cost to you is the cost to ship it to the next person.
THE HOPEQUOTES PROJECT.
DEADLINE TO PARTICIPATE: CLOSED
On April 19th, 2010, members of the Echelon will be helping to build a house in Toronto, and we want ALL of you to be there with us.
HFH Toronto has agreed to let us write your messages on the house...so all of the international echelon can leave their mark. Permanently. All you need to do is donate a minimum of $5 (Canadian, about 2 or 3 pounds) to the Toronto Echelon House page to participate. Photos of the HOPEQUOTES project will be made available after the build.
Leave your favourite lyric (any band) or quote, or message of your own, or combination of all of the above to send some happiness to the new homeowners!
Here's what you need to do:
Email [email protected] with the subject HOPEQUOTES.
Please include:
-Your message/quote/lyric
-Your Name and/or boardname
-Your city and country
Join the Echelon from across the globe in a show of international support for those who need it most.
THE MOSAIC PHOTOS: Make your mark
DEADLINE TO PARTICIPATE: CLOSED. WATCH FOR POSTERS ON SALE SOON!
The “Mosaic Photos” project is an art project that’s meant to celebrate us. To celebrate the fun we have together, the community we’re part of, and the amazing work we’ve done over the past year.
With the photos you send in, mosaics will be created (similar to the one I made above), which you will have the option of purchasing at the HFH site at a later date. These will most likely be available in a couple of different sizes, including giant posters if we can get enough people involved!! Your £5 donation will allow you to be a part of all of the photos that are created – you have no obligation to purchase any of the photos by participating, but I hope that you’ll want what we have in store!
Although every single one of your photos may not be used in the final project, I will do my best to ensure that everyone who submits is part of the end result.
To make this work, we need a lot of people to participate, and a lot of photos. So spread the word far and wide – remember, when people come together, good things can happen.
This project is for EVERYONE. You don't need to have gone to a concert, met the band, volunteered on an HFH build, or anything like that. Even if all you have is a piece of paper, you can take part.
