Watauga County Habitat
for Humanity is Recruiting 2019 Big Kahuna Campaign Contestants
Boone (January 23, 2019) Watauga County Habitat for Humanity is currently recruiting
participants for their 2019 Big Kahuna Campaign. A Kahuna is a
community minded person who volunteers to help raise money for Watauga Habitat by
soliciting their network of personal and business contacts to donate to Watauga
Habitat in their name. This friendly
competition kicks off kicks off March 1st, 2019. At the conclusion of the contest, the results will be announced at a fun social
event known as the “Don Ho-Down” on May 15th. At this event, the Kahuna raising the most
money will be crowned the “BIG KAHUNA”.
Watauga Habitat is currently looking for campaign
contestants. Letters requesting participation will be sent out over the
next few weeks to many community leaders. There will be a maximum number
of Kahuna Contestants. Contestants can organize and host various events to
raise money during the competition period—for example, hosting a cocktail party
for friends or donating a percent of proceeds from your business. If a
birthday or anniversary falls in that time-period, you can ask friends or
family to donate to your campaign. The ideas are limitless, and the
Watauga Habitat staff will be behind you all the way, coaching and promoting all
you are doing.
Since 2015, this fundraising campaign has collectively raised
over $175,000, almost enough to build two Habitat for Humanity homes.
Past winners include Linda K. Robinson of Premier Sotheby’s Real Estate,
Justin Davis of Town Tavern Blowing Rock, Jenny Miller, Community Volunteer and
Crystal Smith of Appalachian Mountain Brewery.
Joining this friendly competition is a great way to show your
support for Habitat’s work in Watauga County, and participants are encouraged
to compete as representatives of their businesses.
Those interested in joining the 2019 Watauga County Habitat
for Humanity Kahuna Campaign should contact Director of Development, Allison
Jennings at 828-268-9545 ext. 107 or allison@wataugahabitat.org.
