A NIGHT IN THE COLD: On Friday, December 1, 2023 participants will brave the elements by sleeping outside for one night. Where and how you sleep is up to you! You can sleep in places like a tent, sleeping bag, or your car, some of the ways our street homeless do when they are without shelter. Others may opt for their porch, garage floor, or church/school parking lot. You can participate alone or in groups. It’s open to everyone of all ages - families, individuals, faith and school groups, sports teams, the scouts, and businesses!

THE CAUSE: 100% of the proceeds will go towards our shelter programs and provide a warm and safe place for homeless families to rebuild their lives this winter.

Step 1: Register

Join a team or participate on your own! Go to the Get Started tab above to register and kick off your fundraising. The $25 fee will go towards your fundraising goal.

Step 2: Fundraise

Once you register, a fundraising page is created for you with built-in tools to make it easy to fundraise. Aim high! 100% of the proceeds go to our homeless families in need.

Our suggested minimum fundraising goal is $500. You have until Sunday, December 4th at 12:00pm to meet your goal. We make it easy with our Starter Kit at the tab above.
