Each year, our signature event, the Building Hope Luncheon celebrates community, highlights our work, and showcases the success of the families that partner with us. In 2020, we launched the first-ever, Building Hope Virtual Lunch-In where guests had the opportunity to hear personal stories of Habitat families and give generously from the comfort of their home. In 2021, we will continue to hold this as a virtual event. The Building Hope Virtual Lunch-In’s ultimate goal is to raise $450,000 to assist Habitat for Humanity Philadelphia in furthering our impact and building housing stability, health stability, and human stability.

Team Captains help make the event a success! Your goal as a Team Captain is to share with your network, recruit 10 or more registrants, and get donations along the way! For each individual that registers to a team, they will automatically be given the capability to fundraise with their own fundraising page. Anything your team collectively fundraises will roll up to the final total of the team. As a Team Captain, you’ll have the flexibility to communicate with your team members and invite as many people to your virtual table for our live program on May 4th, 2021!
When you register as a Team Captain, you’ll receive a welcome email with a Team Captain Starter Kit and other resources to help you in your role.
The Building Hope Lunch-In is our largest fundraising opportunity. This year’s goal is to raise $450,000 to help us build and repair more homes this year. The main goal is to invite 10 or more guests to your Team (or virtual table) and while registration is free, there is a suggested donation of $150.
We encourage Team Captains to communicate this to their team members around gift expectations. When team members join your team, they automatically are set up with a fundraising page where they can use to fundraise along the way. Team members are not required to use their fundraising pages but it’s there as an option. Overall, Team Captains are in place to bring us closer to our event fundraising goal, and with new features with the team structure, you have more flexibility engaging your team leading up to May 4th, 2021.
