Thanks for registering for our Sleepout for Homelessness! Here are the details you need to know:
We’ve created a fundraising media kit that includes pre-made videos, messages, and photos all ready for you to use to solicit support. Feel free to create your own, too. Get creative!
The hashtag #CFFSleeps will be used for the event – use it in your social media presence to let others know about your participation.

Something comfortable to sleep in.
A sleeping bag
A sleeping pad
A blanket or two to wrap over your sleeping bag.

Indoor bathrooms will be available.
