Los Angeles, CA – March 21, 2013: For the first time, Habitat for Humanity of Greater Los Angeles (HFH GLA) is offering the opportunity to design the collectible t-shirt for its most anticipated event of the year “Power Women, Power Tools.” Every year, “Power Women, Power Tools” attracts high-profile women volunteers from various sectors, including corporate, government, faith and the entertainment industry, as well as celebrities who spend the day building homes and bringing much needed awareness for affordable housing. This year’s event will be held on Saturday, June 15, 2013 at Sony Pictures Studios from 8am to 4pm. “Power Women, Power Tools” is an invite-only event and prior volunteers include: Julie Bowen, Tia Carrere, Lauren Conrad, Cat Cora, Kristen Davis, Rosario Dawson, Jennifer Grey, Kristina Guerrero, Paige Hemmis, Stacy Keibler, Mary Murphy, Pauley Perrette, Tom Shadyac, Raven-Symone, Randall Wallace and Chandra Wilson.
The winning designer will be announced in a press release including his/her name; receive an invitation to attend “Power Women, Power Tools” on June 15, 2013 (transportation will not be provided) plus special recognition online, on-site at the event and in printed materials for the event. Additionally, there will be a special announcement during the event honoring the winning designer.
For the past eight years, the “Power Women, Power Tools” t-shirt has become a collectible item, which some consider bragging rights for having participated in the special build day. Until now, HFH GLA has designed the t-shirt in-house, however the organization has opened up the opportunity to the public as a way of engaging a new audience in a creative and organic way. The contest is a fun way to support a local designer, while promoting the mission of Habitat for Humanity in Greater Los Angeles.
