Sleep Out Saturday
Together We Made a Change!
Thank you to everyone who helped make Sleep Out Saturday 2011 Bridge's best SOS yet!
Thank you to everyone who donated to and participated in
Sleep Out Saturday 2011! Working together, over 1,500 kids, teens and adults raised thousands of dollars to help the homeless families in Bridge Communities' Transitional Housing Program cross the bridge to self-sufficiency. We couldn't have done it without you!
You slept in boxes. You slept in cars. You slept in tents. You held bake sales. You held garage sales. You went door to door collecting donations. You sent emails encouraging people to donate. You told your friends and family about your mission. You encouraged them to get involved.
YOU MADE A CHANGE!
You - our Program Partners, our donors, our supporters - are the reason behind Bridge's success.
It's never too late to get involved. To find out how you can help homeless families in DuPage County throughout the year, or to make a donation, please visit
Bridge Communities' web site.
THANK YOU!
PS - Got a Sleep Out story you'd like to share? We'd love to hear it! Email your Sleep Out Saturday stories to Bridge to share with others who want to Make A Change!

Sleep Out Saturday Stories
Sleep Out Saturday is one of the few non-profit fundraising events that allows participants to actively gain empathy for those struggling with homelessness. The event provides participants a forum to learn what it may feel like to be homeless, even if it is for just one night. Participants share their thoughts about their physical and emotional experience of sleeping outside with little or no shelter. Feelings of vulnerability, fear and compassion are common themes found amongst participants the morning following Sleep Out.
