Eat pizza. Drink beer. Do good. Help us turn slices into support! Come hang out, make a few calls or texts, and rally your network for The Great Give. Every donation brings us closer to an extra $1,000 for MakeHaven.

What to Expect

Come be part of a lively, hands on effort to support MakeHaven during The Great Give! We will have pizza, beer, and everything you need to jump in—call lists, text lists, and easy scripts to guide conversations with folks who have asked for reminders to give. Bring your phone and your own network too if you would like. Every donation we inspire during the event increases our chances of winning an extra $1,000 for the space. It is a simple, social way to make a real impact.

What to Bring

  • Your Phone: Please bring a fully charged phone and a charger if you think you will need one.
  • Your Contact List: Any friends, family, or fellow makers who might want a friendly nudge to support the space.
  • A Great Attitude: This is all about community energy and shared excitement.

Who Should Join

This event is open to any member or supporter of MakeHaven who wants to help us reach our fundraising goals. No special skills are required, just a willingness to chat with people who care about our mission and the future of the makerspace.
