Let's SleepOut in Place
Digital Rally Saturday, May 2 | 5PM - 6PM
While our original event at Six Flags Great America had to be cancelled due to the COVID-19 outbreak, we are encouraging everyone to ‘SleepOut in Place’! Now, more than ever, our neighbors experiencing homelessness still need our support - please consider continuing your fundraising and hosting a digital fundraiser.
Pitch a tent in your living room, host a Zoom event with your co-workers, or jump on FB live to encourage donations - your digital event can be a fantastic way to stay connected with friends, family, and community while supporting a great cause!
SleepOut events can be held anywhere (as long as you're still practicing safe social distancing)!
Host a Sleepout in your backyard, gather co-workers in your office, run a solo digital fundraiser, or create your own unique experience. You can create your own unique event with like-minded friends.
All proceeds from the event will support the vital programs and services that PADS Lake County provides to the men, women, and children experiencing homelessness in our community.

"I was homeless because of a divorce with domestic violence and an operation—I had limited support ... I am now in a safe environment—a peaceful and enjoyable place I can call home. I am grateful to have such a strong supportive group coaching, guiding, and assisting in any way they can." - L.W.
Your participation in events like this make life-changing moments like this possible!
