Beginning April 13, the Habitat for Humanity Virginia Tech chapter will host its largest fundraising event of the year. Organizers, which include numerous Myers-Lawson School of Construction students, say they hope Shack-A-Thon will become an annual event focused on healthy competition in the name of philanthropy.
Over a five-day period, six qualified charity organizations will build and man a shack and actively raise funds on the plaza outside of Squires Student Center. Each team is responsible for providing materials and participants for their organization, engaging in a competitive bid to claim a patch of land for their shack, and building a shack that meets the competition's safety standards.
