Habitat for Humanity North Central MA will again host its Spring Breakfast event on May 3, 2017 at the First Parish of Bolton from 7:30 – 8:30 am. The breakfast is an annual awareness and “friend-raising” event and provides an opportunity for the community to meet Habitat’s newest homeowners and to learn more about current building and renovation projects in the region. Habitat for Humanity North Central MA will also honor its long-term volunteers at the breakfast.
A heartfelt thank you goes out to the many local banks and businesses who have come together to help sponsor this event. This year’s event sponsors include Avidia Bank, DCU, Enterprise Bank, Exit Assurance, Exit New Options, The Law Office of David R. Rocheford, Jr., P.C. and 3-D Asset Management. All Sponsors receive a dedicated table and recognition before and during the event. Sponsorships are still being accepted and more details can be found by visiting the Habitat for Humanity website.
Keynote speaker for the Breakfast is award-winning author Michael J. Tougias. Michael J. Tougias is a NY Times Bestselling author and co-author of 24 books. He is best known for his seven survival at sea books such as A Storm Too Soon, So Close To Home, and The Finest Hours now a major motion picture by Disney. His book, Ten Hours Until Dawn: The True Story of Heroism and Tragedy Aboard the Can Do in the Blizzard of 78, was selected by the American Library Association as one of the “Top Books of the Year” and described as “a white-knuckle read, the best book of its kind.”
There is no cost to attend the breakfast however reservations are required as seating is limited. Please visit the Habitat website to reserve your spot.

1. We are raising $25,000, the total cost of production, in just 45 days. This is an 80% or nothing campaign: if we do not raise at least 80% of our goal, the film does not get made.
2. We are launching our campaign on Seed & Spark—an online streaming platform that supports filmmakers. Get a head start by signing up today!
3. We are looking for 600 supporters, with contributions starting at $5.
1. CONTRIBUTE DURING WEEK ONE: Campaigns that get off to a quick start have a higher rate of success. We will send you a link to the campaign on Monday so you can immediately jump on board!
2. MATCH DONOR: Pledge any amount over $100 to be a match donor for a day! Your contribution will inspire others to give and create the leverage for us to solicit our matching funds. Your contribution of $100 can actually help us generate two times that amount. Contact us at to become a match donor.
3. COFFEE CLUB: Join our coffee club by contributing $10.50 each week of our 6-week campaign ($63 total). This amount equals the cost of a cup of coffee from Dunkin’ Donuts (approx. $1.50) every day.
4. EXECUTIVE PRODUCER: As an Executive Producer, you are a key member of the filmmaking team. By contributing at least 10% of the total budget for the film ($2,500), you will receive IMDb (Internet Movie Database) credit, many incredible invites and perks, and, when the feature film is made, your contribution to the short will count as an equity investment in the feature. If interested in becoming an executive producer, contact Jennifer Potts at .
