H.Y.P.E. Athletics launches Text-2-Give Campaign Raising Funds For Classrooms
H.Y.P.E. Athletics Community, a non-profit organization, is building a 104,000 sq. ft. recreation center, the Wayne County—H.Y.P.E. Recreation Center. The center is located on Warren Ave. east of Telegraph Rd. at 23302 W. Warren Ave., Dearborn Heights, MI 48127. H.Y.P.E. will share space with Zaman International, a non-profit humanitarian service focused organization. The scheduled grand opening is in early 2012.
The volunteers, employees and supporters of H.Y.P.E. have come together and are launching a Text-2-Give Campaign on November 1st. The goal is to raise $50,000 through the Text-2-Give process helping to raise funds for the new classrooms and library/resource room that will be in the recreation center. Supplies that need to be purchased include computers, books, desks, furniture and other classroom essentials. The project will benefit the youth of Metro Detroit and focus on helping under-privileged children.
By texting HYPE to 85944, you will make a one-time donation of $10 to the H.Y.P.E. recreation center. This will be charged to your future cell phone bill and you can text as many times as you’d like to help support and raise funds.
H.Y.P.E. will be partnering with local celebrities, media personalities and athletes to help raise the funds for this extremely important cause. Please follow H.Y.P.E. on twitter at @HYPEAthletics and the hashtag for our twitter campaign is #HYPEgives.
H.Y.P.E. is made up of two components: athletics and social services.
