We last held an event for ShelterBox this past February after the massive earthquake in Haiti. Our event was a great success and, thanks to you, we raised enough money to send one whole box to Haiti ($1000, shipped). That's shelter and the means to live for 10 people.
All too quickly we forget that ShelterBox is needed all over the world everyday. Their current deployments can be tracked on their website and include disasters you won't hear much about on the evening news - flooding in Brazil and a landslide and flooding in Pakistan.
Thursday's event is in collaboration with our good friends at BUILDllc. Next weekend they, along with other cycling enthusiasts, will be riding from Seattle to Vancouver, BC to raise money for this great cause. They started with the goal of raising $10,000 for ShelterBoxUSA.org - at $1000 per box that's 10 boxes, or shelter for 100 people! (more info on their ride at the BUILDlls blog here). Please join us and help us blow them way past that $10,000 goal and help those who have just lost everything and truly need your help.
This Thursday, July 29th from 5:30 to 8:30pm to taste some great wine and support this great cause. Suggested donation is $20 per person.
