Join Habitat Archuleta on Saturday, September 9 for our annual fundraiser, “Hats off to Habitat!”
The ladies-only event is from 11am to 2pm at the Town of Pagosa Springs Community Center. With this larger space, we have more than doubled our capacity compared to last year, so grab your best gals and let’s raise some money for workforce homeownership in our community!
All the funds raised at this event stay in Archuleta County.
Tickets are sold in advance only, at www.HatsOfftoHabitat.EventBrite.com or via the link on our website www.Habitatarchuleta.org.
For $350, purchase a table of 8 for you and some friends, or purchase individual seats for $60 apiece.
The event is ‘Fiesta’ themed, so wear your brightest colors, biggest skirt, and your finest cowgirl boots. Entertainment this year will come in a variety of packages. Live music from Los Mitotitos, and a catered lunch from a local Mexican restaurant. All food and drink is included in the ticket price, thanks to our generous sponsors!
We will provide a nice lunch with sangria, and you can visit with your girlfriends without having to entertain the men—but bring your best guy’s billfold, we’ll have lots of opportunities to donate with tip jars and a silent auction.
Silent Auction items include a print of historic downtown, autographed prints of the Denver Broncos and the Colorado Avalanche, and a fully stocked tool belt from a local business.
Our signature Habitat Birdhouses will of course be featured for auction. The materials and craftsmanship for the birdhouses were donated by longtime local, Jim Dorian. And if you know our board president, Kate Crawford, chances are you’ll be commissioned to paint one of Jim’s creations. If you don’t own one yet, be sure to get your bid in — we can never have too many ‘Habitat Homes’ around here.
Cash, check, and credit cards are accepted for the silent auction at the event. Only credit card payments are accepted to purchase tickets. All proceeds go directly to Habitat Archuleta.
To purchase tickets or for more information, call or email the office at 970.264.6960 or events@habitatarchuleta.org
Families who partner to build with Habitat Archuleta contribute sweat equity on the job site, and then purchase the home with a mortgage they can afford. If that special vaquero in your life needs something to do while you’re gone, he can mosey on out to the job site for the day, from 8am to 2:30pm on North Pagosa Blvd.
