The University of Illinois Habitat for Humanity campus chapter will be hosting their annual Build-A-Thon Event on Saturday, April 22nd at 10:00 AM to 3:00PM on the Bardeen Quad. Build-a-Thon (BAT) is a one-of-a-kind fundraising and advocacy event. In the month leading up to the event, teams of up to 5 students will race to raise as much money as possible for our student chapter and local Champaign County Habitat affiliate. On Saturday, April 22nd, all the teams will come together to build the wildest, innovative, and structurally sound shacks. The more your team raises, the more materials and supplies you receive to build! Shacks will be judged on multiple criteria (i.e. creativity, structural stability, aesthetic). Prizes for the best shacks and the most funds raised will be awarded! Food and entertainment will be provided throughout the event.
