30 Seconds To Mars Fans & Habitat For Humanity = The Echelon House

30 Seconds to Mars and Hollywood for Habitat for Humanity united for a one-of-a-king build on June 30, 2008 for the A Brush With Kindness program. The band raised $10,000 by auctioning off 6 slots for fans to work on the build alongside the band members for a day.

In the same week, 30 Seconds to Mars' beautiful family of fans, the Echelon, were inspired and started their own project with Hope Builders, a program of Habitat for Humanity in the UK, which raises funds to build homes internationally. The Echelon House raised enough money to build 2 homes before the band had even begun their build in Los Angeles on June 30, 2008. The House That Echelon Built is now working towards raising enough funds for their 16th house!

When the earthquake hit Haiti in January of 2010, the Echelon House saw the need and started a new build for Haiti. On January 18, 2010, Jared Leto joined forces with Larry King on a star-studded CNN telethon fundraiser for Haiti. During the live television broadcast, Jared donated £1,000.00 to the Echelon House. His donation inspired others to donate and in a matter of hours an entire house was funded, completing house #2 for Haiti.

"It`s an international project- a little more proof that when people come together, good things can happen."

In advance of the build, the band organized an auction of "build slots" to give fans the opportunity to volunteer alongside them and their family and friends. In less than a week, six extra workers were enlisted and over $10,000.00 was raised to fund additional Habitat for Humanity projects.

"We are so proud of our friends and family around the world who have put together their own teams and volunteered. It's a wonderful and selfless gift and we are so thankful and moved by the generosity shown by all. It was a great day today with our family, friends and fans on the build site with the Jones family in Carson, but it was even more special knowing we were joined around the world in this event. We ended the build covered in dirt, sweat and smiles." -Jared Leto
