Pushing the Envelope Announces ‘Build Up’ – A New Push-It-Forward Initiative

FORT MYERS, Fla. – April 1, 2015 – Pushing the Envelope is excited to announce its new Push-It-Forward initiative. ‘Build Up,’ a Habitat for Humanity campaign, will kick off on April 1 to raise awareness and support for Habitat for Humanity of Lee and Hendry Counties, specifically helping one family.

Pushing the Envelope (PTE) is asking the community to get involved by donating time, materials or money. Each homeowner who receives a Habitat home is required to invest $1,700 for closing costs, and PTE’s goal is to match those funds. Throughout the month of April, PTE will be collecting monetary donations as well as hosting a tool drive. On April 25, the PTE team and volunteers will be rolling up their sleeves to build a Habitat home in Lee County.

How to get involved:

Monetary Donations: Visit GetPushing.com/Push-It-Forward to make a donation. No donation is too big or too small.

Become a Build Up Sponsor: Participants can fund appliances and materials for the home. Packages range from $250 to $5,250.

Donate Hand Tools: Habitat is always in need of new or gently used tools to help with current and future construction projects. Donations can be dropped off at the PTE office, located at 9111 W. College Pointe Dr., Suite 110, Fort Myers, FL 33919.

Join the Team: Register to participate in the Push-It-Forward team build on Saturday, April 25 from 7:45 a.m. to 2:30 p.m.

“Build Up is an extension of our ‘Pushing It Forward’ program to give back to our community,” commented Samantha Scott, APR, President. “We’re thrilled to expand our program and have the opportunity to work with Habitat for Humanity to help a family in need.”

PTE would like to thank our ‘Build Up’ campaign partners: Hood Designs and Rapid Print of Southwest Florida. For more information on the Build Up initiative, please visit GetPushing.com/Push-It-Forward or call (239) 221-2858.
