It’s time for DJPC’s Spring “Build-for-Peace”!

Build-for-Peace is a workathon (like marathon or walkathon). DJPC members who will be working as “Builders” need your pledge of support for their work on Saturday, May 19th.

Once again our “Builders” will be helping The Family Tree, a non-profit organization that provides services and shelter for families and youth of metro Denver to overcome child abuse, domestic violence and homelessness. (http://www.thefamilytree.org/). “Builders” will be painting, doing yard work, helping organize the “Treasure Trunk Thrift Store”, etc. to help The Family Tree and their families, while raising funds for DJPC thanks to your pledges of donations to “Builders”. Everyone wins!

To sponsor one of our “Builders” CLICK HERE, fill out the on-line donation form, and be sure to write in the name of the “Builder” you want to sponsor. Or send a check made to “DJPC Education Fund” with the name of the “Builder” you are sponsoring in the Memo line and mail to: DJPC, P.O. Box 12403, Denver, CO 80212.

 IT'S NOT TOO LATE TO JOIN DJPC'S

BUILD-FOR-PEACE,

OUR WORK-A-THON FUNDRAISING TEAM!
 


There's still room on the team for a few more "builders"

 for our annual spring "Build for Peace" fundraiser.

 Won't you join us and line up some sponsors soon?

 The date is:  Saturday, May 19th, 8:30am-3pm.

 We will be working with Family Tree who provides housing and
 important programs for homeless mothers and children
 http://www.thefamilytree.org/en/. 

Work done in the past has included painting houses and
fixing porches as well as landscaping, carpentry, etc.
We will inform team members about our work projects
and location a week before the work-a-thon.

 In the meantime, volunteers need to solicit pledges for the
hours of work they will put in and/or flat donations. All monies raised
go towards DJPC's work towards peace and justice in Latin America.

If you are interested in participating, there are two main requirements:
1)That you make use of all Build for Peace materials provided to you
 (e.g. draft solicitation letters, FAQs sheets, etc).
to raise funds to support DJPC; and
2)You must come for the scheduled May 19th Build for Peace day
where you will enjoy working in good company with other DJPC members
and supporters.
