We expect Sleepers to approach the Sleep Out with an open heart, an open mind, and a willingness to work hard for something outside of your comfort zone. 

Young professionals are expected to fundraise before the event. We ask that you set a fundraising goal of $1,000 or more.

You are not on your own when it comes to fundraising! Our team provides coaching, materials, and whatever support you need to reach your goal. 

The Sleep Out is a unique experience that we hope encourages awareness, empathy, and understanding for the immeasurable odds that homeless young people overcome. But while awareness of a problem is important, it isn’t a solution.

We ask to Sleep Out participants to raise critical funds that allow Covenant House to offer safety, shelter, and support to homeless young people 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year.  By fundraising, Sleep Out participants become part of the solution for homeless youth.

For this event, we ask that each Sleeper sets a fundraising goal of $1,000 or more. 

We know you can do it — getting started is as easy as sending an email — and our team is available every step of the way to provide the tips, coaching, materials, and whatever else you need to reach your goal.

Safety is our highest priority, both for the young people we serve and supporters at our events. 

All Sleepers will be required to show proof of vaccination and wear a mask when indoors. 

We take every necessary precaution to keep Sleepers safe. There will be locked gates at our sleeping location and security throughout the night.
