A big crowd gathered at The Pub Orlando on Jan. 10, 2018, to support the #KeepCraftAlive movement and to raise funds for building trades scholarships. The event, put on by Fine Homebuilding and  supported by co-host Diamondback Toolbelts and by premier sponsor Huber Engineered Woods, drew over 100 attendees.

100% of the event ticket sale proceeds are being donated to the #KeepCraftAlive Scholarship Fund to support the next generation of building trades artisans, and FHB is also matching donations dollar-for-dollar up to its goal of raising $10,000.

Each attendee paid $35-$50 to be at the event, and each received a stuffed swagbag full of rewards and giveaways (pictured above).

FHB editor Justin Fink was enthusiastic in his appreciation for the tremendous support for the fundraiser. “We can’t thank you enough for supporting this cause!” he said. “The turnout last night for our #keepcraftalive event in partnership with Diamondback Toolbelts and Huber Wood was overwhelming. We’re going to keep the registration site open for a couple of weeks to allow for additional donations. Your continued support means everything to us and to those who will receive scholarship funding this year.”
