Our first was a success! ✅

Because of your support, we’ve raised over $10,000 for Covenant House NJ to help end youth homelessness and donations are still open if you’d like to contribute.

For one night, we traded warm rooms and comfortable beds for a sleeping bag, cardboard, and a foggy 30° night. It was a powerful experience hearing stories, learning the realities through data, and seeing the incredible work Covenant House NJ does for youth experiencing homelessness.

Thank you to everyone who donated, shared, and supported this initiative.🫂
