EVANSVILLE, IN: This Friday, April 12th, the ECHO Housing and Community Development team will be out in the community promoting some of the businesses and organizations that are participating in our very first “Casual for a Cause: Ending Homelessness” campaign. This awareness and fundraising initiative will support ECHO Housing’s seven, soon-to-be eight homeless service programs.
We invite all media contacts to join us in the community as we sell bracelets and recognize the partners and businesses that help us work to end homelessness. The locations & times we have secured so far are listed below. We will likely have more security tomorrow (Thursday). You can reach me at the info above to find more times/locations.
We encourage everyone (all our news media friends) to participate in Casual for a Cause by purchasing a purple bracelet ($ 2 each) and wearing purple on Friday, April 12! Help us make a positive impact in the lives of those in need. Your involvement can make a difference.
Ways to participate:
• Go to one of the 18 businesses or organizations all over town that have agreed to sell bracelets (list attached) and buy a bracelet for $2. You can also thank the business for supporting our work!
• If you are wearing purple in support of Homelessness Awareness on Friday 4/12, take a selfie and post it to social media and tag ECHO Housing – @ECHOHousingCorp. You can also use the hashtags: #C4CEndingHomelessness and #ECHOHousing
