<p>Habitat Olympics is a fundraising event where teams raise pledges and compete in construction-themed games at our annual event. There is a silent auction, refreshments, carnival style games and a large prize drawing.</p>
<p>All proceeds from this event will stay directly in Genesee County and will be used to serve those in need of affordable housing. We currently serve 10-12 families per year and have built 85 homes for families in need of affordable housing, which totals more than 256 people in safe, decent homes. Our goal for Habitat Olympics 2013 is to raise $25,000 to help fund an additional home in Genesee County in 2013.</p>
