Listen up! The Mo man himself is turning 20 on March 16th and he’s throwing a party at Local 506 to celebrate. Why is this important? Because this is the biological milestone of a UNC legend. The Mo man will be present, he will be looking fresh, (in his usual fluorescent attire), and yes, ladies…he [...]
There is hope! We had a successful fundraiser! This weekend about half the team (Franklin, Colleen, Madison, Ben and Erica) participated in trial one of the first ever ‘Can you Beat It Fundraiser’ and it was a huge success! We came up with the inspiration back in early September, but never mustered enough courage to [...]
Udon Thani here we come….
Seven team members worked a casino event last night in Durham from 6-12. They gave up another Friday night for Habitat and earned about $400 for their labor. Great job guys!

Wow. It’s been quite a while since our last update. I apologize for not writing in the last couple weeks, but we’ve all been up to our necks in cramming for exams, writing final papers and procrastinating. I emerged from the Undergraduate Library today for the first time since early December, I believe, and had [...]
Our second bar night was great! Groovitational Pull, the band pictured above, put on a tremendous show, rockin out to spot-on David Bowie covers. They played pro bono for Habitat and I just wanted to give them a shout-out for their great gig and willingness to support our mission. We raised $100 even from cover [...]
