ABOUT SLEEP OUT

Come join us for 1 or all 3 nights, as we sleep on Marsh Plaza to raise awareness about homelessness and low income housing!

People will be sleeping in cardboard boxes on Marsh Plaza to raise awareness about homelessness and low-income housing.  It is also a fundraiser to help Boston University Habitat for Humanity raise the $50,000 needed to sponsor a house and help give a family a home in the Greater Boston area.

The event will take place 4/22-2/24 6pm-6am. Friday at 3 PM, Dean Elmore has offered to host Coffee & Conversation about homelessness and low income housing on Marsh Plaza.  We would love for you all to attend this event on the final day of Sleep-Out!

Coffee and snacks will be provided by local business each night and there will be fun activities like relay races, Lego building contests and other games.  The nights will be full of entertainment with performances by student groups as well.  On Wednesday, participants can also help paint the boxes that we will be sleeping in.

Come with your student group, come with your friends, or come on your own! If you have a group that is interested, please register as a team by registering online.  Please let us know which days you intend on joining us so we can make sure to have enough boxes.  (You are free to sleep-out one night, all three, or just stop by for the evening!)

We suggest that each participant raise $100 minimum to donate to the BU Habitat house.  Virgin American Airlines has donated 2 round-trip tickets to the individual who raises the most money!  The group that raises the most money will win 2 free hours of pool for up to 30 people at Big City!  There will also be chances to win great prizes like a Starbucks gift card, a Barnes and Noble gift card, free bowling, and more.

Sleep-Out is annual event that each year grows!  This is a really fun way to get to know members of your group better or just spend time with friends while giving back to the community!

All proceeds will go towards a BU Habitat for Humanity sponsored house!

We look forward to seeing your group at Sleep-Out!
