Support Sustainability in Asheville by Investing in ABC
The Ashevillage Building Convergence is a project that is held together by a strong common purpose – a better, more sustainable Asheville. But there is another ingredient in the ABC recipe: support of a strong local community. In the last year of planning, ABC has been supported by:
- More than 5000 volunteer hours
- 20+ organizations involved in the hands-on projects in Ashevillage in Action
- More than 100 volunteers involved overall
- Pro bono printing sponsorship, media advertising sponsorships, graphic design sponsorships, documentation sponsorships, and more!
With minimal expenses and an overwhelming response from the community and regional media, the ABC is opening up to additional donor/community investors. If you would like to support the ABC this year, please call Susanne for more information at 814-404-6430, or to see 2008 sponsorship levels as an example of sponsorships for 2009, go to: http://www.ashevillage.org/support.html
