Habitat for Humanity Trashion Show
Call for Designers
Habitat for Humanity
Habitat for Humanity in Whatcom County is organizing a Trashion Show fundraiser to be held on June 7th, 2024 and we are reaching out to see if anyone in your organization or network would be interested in submitting an outfit for the event. We are looking for up to 20 designers to create an outfit made primarily out of items that would otherwise become trash and to provide a model for their outfit at the event. There is a $40 designer fee to enter the show and cash prizes and bragging rights will be available for 1st place- $500, runner up- $250, best model- $125 and peoples choice- $125.
What is a Trashion Show? Trash and Fashion come together as the Trashion Show to help bring awareness to the amount of waste generated and to the opportunities for repurposing, recycling and reusing. This year, the Trashion Show will be held as a stand-alone event on June 7th, 2024 at the Fishermans Pavilion in Bellingham from 6:00 to 9:00 pm. The evening will include drinks, food trucks, fundraising games, raffles, silent auction and, of course, the trashion show. We pride ourselves in presenting a fun evening with lots of guest participation. All proceeds support Habitat’s mission to build safe, affordable, permanent housing for people in need in Whatcom County.
Because of our work with the Habitat Store, recycling and re-purposing are words we hear every day. Being very conscious of the environment, we recycle clothing and fabrics, cardboard, plastics, wood and metal at the Habitat Store. Having said that, we raise even more awareness of this issue by encouraging people like you to create wearable apparel from 75% recycled trash and worn by models on the runway to be judged by the attendees during the auction.
Show Ambassadors / Social Media Team
New prospecttheatre
Step into the spotlight (or stay the heck out of it if that’s your thing!) and spread the magic of the local theater, music, and special events taking place at New Prospect Theatre.
We’re looking for Social Media and Marketing Volunteers to join our team!
A few of the roles we’d love to fill:
Show Ambassadors:
Monthly- (total hours depend on show! + Monthly Meeting)
Volunteers will get a chance to engage with the people behind our sponsored productions, crafting social media posts and other marketing materials- One Show at a Time. You’ll choose the shows and events that appeal to your interests and schedule and along with the show producer/director you’ll create and post promo material for our sponsored shows. Your volunteer time will likely depend on the show- but on average this could be between 3-6 hours during the month leading up to a show.
Social Media Curator:
Weekly- 5-10 hours + Monthly Meeting)
Take charge! If you’re already a passionate social media pro- and happen to have a good five to ten extra hours per week- take this on! Coordinate our Show Ambassadors and create brilliant marketing campaigns for social media! Do other things we don’t even know about because we need you! Graphic design skills and familiarity with adobe creative suite or canva, as well as a familiarity with meta business suite are an essential part of this volunteer role. And of course, you’ll want to mesh well with everyone on the team!
Press Release Pro:
Monthly 2-3 hours + Monthly Meeting)
Ensure our events and shows are getting listed on all the online event calendars!
We strive to value and appreciate all of our volunteers for their individual skills and contributions! You’ll get free tickets to shows in addition to respect for your time and boundaries! Too often volunteers are overlooked and overworked, and it is our genuine goal to Not Be That Non-Profit.

To Whom It May Concern
Read your letter
Are you an IMPROVISER, MUSICIAN or LETTER WRITER who’d love to be involved with a cool, new show coming to The New Prospect Theatre?
First show is SEPTEMBER 22nd
To Whom It May Concern is a live monthly show where folks read their letters on stage. Real letters they’ve written or received, correspondence back and forth, made-up letters they only wish they could write (and send!) and improvised letters based on audience suggestions.
A musician opens the show with a few of their songs and then accompanies the letters improvisationally and the whole shebang is recorded for a podcast.
Time commitment is minimal. There are no rehearsals except for a run thru right before the show.
Individual meetings can be arranged to go over letters and practice reading them out loud.
Visit the website for more information, to listen to past podcasts
(from the shows Los Angeles residency) or to submit!
