Happenings in March

Huck House SLEEP OUT
Friday, April 20, 2018 – Saturday April 21, 2018
9:30 pm – 5:30 am
rain or shine, cold or warm
COSI Outdoor Plaza

An overnight event designed to raise awareness and funds for homeless youth in our community

When you commit to SLEEP OUT, you help at-risk young people gain access to safe homes they can sleep in. 
If you have a sleeping bag, then you can help support homeless youth by joining our SLEEP OUT. You’ll spend one night sleeping outside – something too many troubled young people in our communities have to do on too many cold nights. Your goal is to raise money to support Huck House programs that help youth overcome homelessness. Ask your friends and family to support your effort by donating to your SLEEP OUT fundraising effort. We’ll give you all the fundraising tools you need to succeed.

Registration closes April 1. Registration fee of $25 per participant.
