About Houston
SleepOut
Houston SleepOut, sponsored by SEARCH Homeless Services’
Young Ambassadors, is a first-time fund-raising
event to be held on November 15, 2008. SEARCH’s
Young Ambassadors group aims to communicate the
issues of homelessness and transform lives by connecting
with young professionals in a meaningful way. For
a minimum $100 donation, individuals and teams will
SleepOut under the stars in Sesquicentennial Park,
promoting awareness and understanding for those
who have no place to call home. Participants will
raise funds by asking friends, family and others
in their community to sponsor their commitment to
the project as “Sleepers”, those who will
actually spend the night at the event. That evening,
participants will be served dinner and enjoy a “Faces
of Homelessness” program in which individuals
who have overcome their struggles will tell their
stories.
All proceeds benefit SEARCH
Homeless Services, a nonprofit organization dedicated
to helping homeless men, women and children get
off the streets and into jobs and affordable housing.
Please join us. One night can
make a difference for others in need. YOU can
make a difference!
