Get Ready for Shack-A-Thon 2026!
Shack-A-Thon is a student-run fundraiser that started at NC State in 1998 with one shack and a few passionate students wanting to bring awareness to the issue of affordable housing. It has since grown to include more than 20 shacks, dozens of student organizations, and thousands of participating students each year. Shack-A-Thon raises money to support Habitat for Humanity of Wake County and its efforts to provide affordable housing for people in need. Over the past 20 years, the event has raised more than $500,000 for Habitat for Humanity, with 20+ student organizations erecting shacks each year in Wolf Plaza in the heart of NC State’s campus. The NC State Habitat for Humanity Chapter has helped sponsor and build 33 homes since the chapter was founded in 1991.
