One part about Do It Local that I really love is how they support local charities and their business partners not just on the app but at special fun events. And there's a lot coming up this fall! Come save money, have a good time and make a difference!

Do It Local will be collecting donations and giving away FREE memberships at the following events in September:

September 8 - Come celebrate at the 3rd Anniversary Bash at Synergy Fitness for Women to benefit The NC Diaper Bank. They
 will have raffles, prizes, fun games, drink tastings, food trucks, music tons of health and beauty experts and most importantly.....fun! Bring family and friends to extend your chance to win door prizes!

September 15 - Triangle Kickoff to College and Career sponsored by APlus Test Prep promises to be super informative for high schoolers and their parents. Do it Local will be selling memberships to support the Durham Literacy Center.  https://kickofftocollege.com

The inaugural Bull City Charity Auction benefiting Durham Habitat for Humanity promises to be a blast! Do It Local is going to raffle off some great gift certificates to a few of their awesome partner businesses.  Habitat for Humanity's mission is to make families AffordaBULL housing dreams come true!

When: Saturday, Sept 22 1-4 PM
Where: Durty Bull Brewing Co.

Here's more info on it! The mission of the auction is two-fold: 
"1) Obviously, we want to build houses! Supporting Habitat for Humanity's mission to provide safe, affordable housing for local families is at the center of the event. We are doing this by creating Durham "baskets" - bundles of goods, services, and experiences from the local community. This happens through donations & sponsorship from local businesses. Baskets are themed (examples: SoDu Date Night, Downtown Get-Around, Bull City Beers, etc...) and most include multiple shops, services, and experiences. The baskets are auctioned off with the proceeds benefitting Habitat for Humanity of Durham

2) To connect local families with local businesses. Durham averages 20 new residents every single day - that's a lot of people who don't really know everything that Durham has to offer. On the flip side, we have new businesses opening every day too that our established locals might not know about. As Durham grows, we are working to create and help foster strong community relationships.

Learn more about the Realtor Community Habitat Home here."

You want to save money. You want to make a difference. So why not do both with one simple, easy to use app? Do It Local - ​Shop local, play local, eat local... all while helping your favorite organization make a difference right here in Durham!
