What are the event's proceeds for?

The event's net proceeds will support Wichita Habitat for Humanity's programs, such as our homeownership, home repair, and general operations. These programs help build and maintain affordable housing units in Wichita and Sedgwick County, while empowering hard-working families and residents to empower themselves.

I can't attend the event, but I still want to get involved. How can I?

There are absolutely ways to support Raise the Roof even if you can't make it to the event. We rely on the generosity of folks like you to further our mission. You can sponsor the event or make an in-kind donation directly supporting Raise the Roof. For more information, contact Felicia Saunders at felicia@wichitahabitat.org.
