We have come to terms with the vastly different cirumstances that this year has brought us. After careful consideration, Urban Homeworks has decided to move this year's Perpetuate the Hope Affordable Housing Symposium to be held completely online. We had high hopes of celebrating our 25th anniversary with all of you in-person, but we recognize that holding a gathering of this size would put our community at greater risk.
We are overwhelmed with gratitude at the ways our Urban Homeworks family has shown up for us this year, and we know PTH will be no different. Help us honor 25 years of building hope by joining our Virtual Symposium!
Wednesday, August 12 Main Program (1 hour)
Thursday, August 13 Equity and Engagement Breakout Session (1 hour)
Friday, August 14 Closing Breakout Session (1 hour)
Cost: Raise $1,000 to get full access for all who donate to your campaign. Raise between $500-999 to get access to Wednesday's main program for all who donate to your campaign.
*Individuals who donate anonymously will not receive the access link, so please encourage folks to donate using their names or to contact EmilyL@urbanhomeworks.org if they choose to donate anonymously.
Every year Urban Homeworks relies heavily on the support of our Table Hosts who invite guests join them at PTH and hear a message of hope. This year is no different! We invite you to become a Virtual Table Host and invite your networks to be a part of the online event.
This year we are asking virtual table hosts to create online fundraisers through our JustGiving platform by clicking the orange "Start Fundraiser" button at the top of this page. You will be taken to a page to create your own campaign that is customizeable.
Use the social media share buttons and your personal campaign link to invite others to donate to your Virtual Table. Virtual Hosts who raise $1,000 or more will receive FULL ACCESS to the event for everyone who donated to their campaign. Those who raise between $500-999 will receive access to Wednesday's Main Program for everyone who donated to their campaign.
1. Click the orange "Start Fundraiser" button on the top of this page
2. Edit and personalize your fundraiser
3. Share with your social media networks
4. Send emails inviting others to donate with your fundraiser link
5. Make calls
6. Share your campaign frequently to meet your goal of $1,000 before August 12
On the day of the event, two awards will be announced: (1) the Virtual Table Hosts who raised the most amount of money and (2) the Virtual Table Host who has the most donors/virtual guests.
Award recipients will be announced during Wednesday's session and will receive a special prize!
