2010
- First Things First
$100,000
Challenge
As the Cedar Valley continues to rebuild from the Flood
of 2008, Iowa natives Kurt and Brenda Warner are
challenging Cedar Rapids faith-based and corporate
organizations to commit to building simple, decent and
affordable homes with Habitat for Humanity! The
Warner’s First Things First Foundation is making a
generous gift of $100,000 to help complete two Habitat
homes in 2010. But now, they are calling on
community-minded folks to match their gift for 2011—
making it possible to build at least one more Habitat
home with an area family in need!
To demonstrate their commitment to joining in Habitat’s
work in 2011, Kurt Warner’s First Things First Home Team
participants will pledge to support at least one Habitat
construction day next year.
As part of the program, partners will commit to at least
an $8,000 one-day “Front Door” sponsorship on the First
Things First Foundation Habitat home. The program will
provide not only a tremendous amount of PR, but also
the option of providing one full day’s worth of volunteer
labor.
Partners will be invited to a special Home Team build site
picnic hosted by Kurt and Brenda on Friday, June 25,
2010 at noon.
