Sleep Out: C
Anchorage Sleep Out: Community Edition April 19, 2024 in Kincaid Park
THANK YOU FOR ANOTHER SUCCESSFULL SLEEP OUT! Thanks to you, we raised over $70,000
Our Community Sleep Out is an opportunity for your family, friends and organizations to take part in a movement that will ensure that youth facing homelessness in our community can access a safe place to sleep. An increasing number of young people face homelessness each year in Anchorage. You can help by joining Covenant House Alaska’s Sleep Out fundraiser on April 19th in Kincaid Park. Give up your bed for one night and sleep at Kincaid Park (the only night of the year they allow camping!) to raise awareness and funds to end youth homelessness.
Sleep Out is more than just a night without a bed - it's a chance to uplift vulnerable youth in our community. Throughout the evening you'll hear inspiring stories from those with lived experience, learn from experts about advocacy efforts, and connect with other community members working to create change. The family-friendly event starts Friday at 6PM It concludes Saturday morning at 8AM after a night sleeping outdoors.
Prior to the event, you'll receive details on what to bring and where to meet from your event coordinator. By sacrificing comfort for a night, you can help ensure homeless youth have a place to turn year-round. Join the movement to end youth homelessness at this year's Sleep Out!
