Hoops for Habitat: Santa Cruz Warriors Community Jersey Night

Presented by Bank of America raises money for Habitat for Humanity

SANTA CRUZ, CA (January 20, 2015) — On January 27th at 7:00pm the Santa Cruz Warriors play Bakersfield Jam in custom jerseys presented by Bank of America to support Habitat for Humanity Santa Cruz County.  Attendees are invited to bid on jerseys during the game at a silent auction set up in the Kaiser Permanente Arena lobby. Winners will be announced at the end of the game and invited to join the players who will autograph the game jersey and pose for a picture. Proceeds will support Habitat’s current affordable housing development on Los Esteros Court in Live Oak.

Habitat for Humanity is currently under construction on the first two homes of a seven-home development in Live Oak, Santa Cruz. “We are excited to share our mission with the Santa Cruz Warriors audience and hope to gain a few, if not more, volunteers on the construction site of the Los Esteros Court site. We are grateful to Bank of America for being a home sponsor and bringing us the opportunity to partner with the Warriors,” said David Foster, Executive Director.

Bank of America, a current Los Esteros Court home sponsor, has partnered on the last four Habitat projects in Santa Cruz County, both financially and with teams of employee volunteers. “Our employees find it inspiring to work alongside the Habitat partner families as they contribute to the construction of their future home,” says Lisa Crivello, VP, Financial Center Manager, Scotts Valley Financial Center.

Habitat for Humanity Santa Cruz County builds decent, affordable homes in partnership with hundreds of local volunteers, business and individual donors, future Habitat homeowners, civic leaders and other engaged community members. Celebrating 25 years, Habitat Santa Cruz has provided a critical path to financial security for over forty families who live and work in our community. Learn more atwww.habitatsc.org.
