Skydive at Parachute School of Toronto! - Skydiving in Toronto, GTA, Ontario, Canada

Habitat for Humanity, York Region builds simple, decent and affordable homes in partnership with the community and with the families who will own them. All homes are built almost completely by volunteers using building materials, land and money donated by individuals, businesses, and various community groups. In addition, families are required to complete a minimum of 500 hours of ‘sweat equity’ by volunteering to help build their own home, other Habitat homes or helping in other ways. The Habitat approach provides families with a hand up, not a hand out.

Help build a home & build hope by donating to Habitat for Humanity, York Region’s Fall for a Family day. Participants will leap out of a perfectly good aircraft at the Parachute School of Toronto on August 7^th, 2010 in order to overcome their own obstacles & experience the thrill of skydiving. All donations will benefit a local family in helping them get a home.
