10th Annual Sleep Out Saturday

Amandaol Widtfeldt, Neighbor

















On Saturday, November 2, Bridge Communities hosts the 10th Annual Sleep
Out Saturday to raise money and awareness for homeless families in DuPage
County. It kicks off with an outdoor rally hosted by NCB5 anchor Stephan Holt
in downtown Glen Ellyn (505 Crescent Blvd.) at 7 pm.  The free rally is open to the public and will
feature music, video, and live testimonials from Bridge Communities clients.  Then, approximately 2,000 DuPage residents
will sleep outside at one of about 75 outdoor sleep out sites in DuPage yards
and parking lots, with adults and students sleeping in boxes, tents and cars. Everyone
in DuPage County is invited to participate in Sleep Out Saturday or to make a
contribution.  For more information on
Sleep Out Saturday, to participate, or to sponsor a “sleeper,” call (630)
545-0610 ext. 19 or visit www.SleepOutSaturday.org.
