STF Teams up with Siouxland Habitat for Humanity for Stud of the Month Calendar

December 31, 2020 - The Siouxland Habitat Humanity announced their latest fundraising campaign - “Stud of the Month” calendars - on December 22, 2020.

Like many local nonprofits coping with the impact of COVID-19 on essential fundraising, Habitat made the pivot to a more COVID resilient fundraiser in the form of a wall calendar.

It takes approximately 300 studs to build one Habitat Home, which is what inspired the theme “Stud of the Month” for the calendar.  

“We are especially grateful to our presenting sponsors Hard Rock Hotel and Casino – Sioux City, and Seaboard Triumph Foods. Not only did Hard Rock come on as a financial sponsor they lent us the talents of their marketing team and their concert photographer, Britton Hacke. Along with nine other sponsors is Kruse Chiropractic who came onboard at the Trimmer Stud level,” said Anne Holmes of Siouxland Habitat for Humanity

To fill the pages of the calendar, local businesses decorated studs with their logos, autographs, inspirational messages and artwork, and then posed with their creations to be featured as the Stud of the Month. Like Sponsor-a-Stud, the calendar sponsors will be invited to our next Habitat home build, prior to installing the sheetrock. They’ll get to meet the future homeowners and see the placement of their customized studs.

“This year’s calendar also features our Volunteer of the Year, Charese Yanney. Look for her as our January “Calendar Girl”. Stud of the Month is only the first of a few pandemic resilient fundraisers you can expect to see hosted by Siouxland Habitat for Humanity,” stated Holmes.

Calendars are priced at $20 each and will be available at Kruse Chiropractic, the Rock Shop at Hard Rock Hotel & Casino, Habitat’s Restore and from Siouxland Habitat for Humanity board members.
