Again this year, the Montgomery County Coalition
for the Homeless (MCCH) has been selected as a beneficiary of the
Fannie Mae Foundation’s Help the Homeless Walkathon
(HTH). This annual event, which raises awareness about homelessness
in the Metropolitan area and funds to support essential programs
serving the homeless, culminates in a 5K walk on the National Mall
on the Saturday before Thanksgiving.
Mark your calendars for Saturday, November 17, 2007!Our goal this year is to raise over $150,000 to support our programs serving homeless men, women and children and our efforts to prevent and end homelessness in Montgomery County. You can help through the following ways: 1. WALKERS: Individual walkers can earmark their financial support for MCCH when they register. In addition, MCCH receives funds from walker-solicited pledge contributions. Click here to join Team MCCH, meet us at the “M” sign on the Mall, and walk with us to end homelessness in our community! 2. MINI-WALKS: Mini-Walkathons can be held throughout the fall at elementary and middle schools, community-based and faith-based organizations. These walks are a great way to engage people who might not be able to make it to the walk on the National Mall. Please contact Sarah Mahin at 301-217-0314 x18 for details. 3. GENERAL DONATIONS TO THE COALITION: Not able to join us for the Walk but still want to help? General donations can be made to MCCH through the Help the Homeless program by clicking here. 4. PARTNER SPONSORSHIPS with FANNIE MAE: Businesses and organizations can designate MCCH when becoming a HTH partner. Fannie Mae sponsorships begin at the Bronze level ($1,500) and range upward through the Millennium level ($100,000). As a reward for sponsorship, sponsors can take advantage of many promotional opportunities through HTH posters, signs, t-shirts, and advertisements. For more information, please contact Sarah Mahin at 301-217-0314 x18. The Coalition would like to thank the following partners of Help the Homeless 2006: Corporate Partners Mini-Walk Schools
