What: Bridge Communities will host an outdoor rally for "Sleep Out Saturday" in Glen Ellyn
What It's About: The free rally features live performances fromlocal band Flipside, DJ "Koz" and the crew from The Mix 101.9, an interactive game show, and testimonials from formerly homeless families who are graduates of and/or participants in the Bridge Communities program. After the rally, groups of teens, individuals and families will sleep outdoors in tents, boxes or cars to raise funds for Bridge Communities. The all-night sleepover to raise awareness about homelessness will be held in backyards, parking lots and parks across DuPage County. Last year's event raised more than $100,000.
When and Where: 6:30-8pm, November 6, outside at Bridge Communities, 505 Crescent Blvd, Glen Ellyn
The Charity: Bridge Communities is a non profit agency that serves more than 100 needy families annually in programs that include a two-year transitional housing program for families, life-skills mentoring, an auto program, financial counseling and employment training.
