Vote to help Habitat for Humanity win $50,000!


Montecito Bank & Trust has selected Habitat for Humanity of Southern Santa Barbara County to be one of the nine local non-profits competing to be the beneficiary for the 2012 Santa Barbara Triathlon. Donations from this annual event could reach $50,000 which would substantially support Habitat as we raise funds for the Canon Perdido Affordable homes project which will provide homes for 12 local families.

The critical factor in Habitat for Humanity being selected is your vote!  

Please take a moment and click on the link below. Select Habitat for Humanity from the list of organizations to submit your vote. It takes less than 30 seconds so please do it today!


Only one vote per person is allowed. Please share this email with your family, friends, coworkers and any one else you can think of and ask that they vote for Habitat. Voters do not need to live in Santa Barbara.

If selected, Habitat for Humanity will devote the funds to the construction of the 12 new low-income homes that we are building on Canon Perdido Street. These 12 homes will provide safe, decent and affordable housing for hard-working and deserving families in our community.  
  
The high price of housing in Santa Barbara means that hundreds of low-income families are forced to live in overcrowded apartments or converted garages, many of which do not meet minimum health and safety standards. Our immediate goal is to help 12 families move from substandard housing into their own home and with your help, and your vote, we can accomplish this goal.  

Thank you in advance for taking the time to make your voice and your vote heard today.  We would also like to thank Montecito Bank & Trust for their generous support of Habitat and other worthy organizations in Santa Barbara.

Just think, with one click you can help Habitat raise $50,000!
