Fashion Show |
|
| |
We held this event during the 2005 - 2006 school year. Models designed their clothes completely from recycled materials. Apart from being a fundraiser, this event also raises awareness of using recycled items as our local Habitat ReStore does. ReStore is a discount store for new Habitat homeowners to buy household items like furniture and building materials for very low prices. |

Disco Ball is fundraiser we did several years in a row. We turn the Rec Center into a 70s disco, invite students to come dressed in their best 70s outfits, and have a live disco band for the night. |

Shack-a-thon
|
|
| |
Every spring, Lawrence student organizations have spent a weekend building shacks out of recycled materials to raise money for Habitat. Student organizationss pay a fee to participate in this event. They then build shacks and sleep in them overnight. We provide the entertainment, including music all day long, food, and fun activities. |
