The Master Builders Care Foundation seeks applications for its 18th Annual “Rampathon” event, presented by Parr Lumber.
Disabled homeowners within King and Snohomish counties may be eligible for free access ramps, built by volunteer members of the Master Builders Association of King and Snohomish Counties. Applications can be received by contacting the Master Builders Care Foundation at (425) 451-7920 or by going to Rampathon.org. Completed applications are due Feb. 18, 2008.

The Master Builders Care Foundation plans to organize 300 volunteers who will construct more than 20 ramps during Rampathon on May 14, 2011. Volunteer ramp captains recruit volunteers and request donations from suppliers to construct each ramp. Ramp captains include Master Builders Association member remodelers, builders, designers and suppliers.   
During Rampathon 2010, 18 free ramps were constructed throughout King and Snohomish counties, including Kirkland, Bellevue, Auburn, Kent, Seattle, Snohomish, Renton and Everett.

The Master Builders Care Foundation is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit that utilizes the resources of the Master Builders Association of King and Snohomish Counties to benefit homeless and low income disabled members in our communities.
