The Sutton Coldfield YMCA 'Sleep Easy'
Friday 31st March 2017
The YMCA Sleep Easy is
a National fundraising event, intended to raise awareness of the issue of youth
homelessness whilst raising vital funds to support individual YMCA’s work with
young people in many different ways.
A Sleep Easy event is a sponsored sleep out in the open on one
of the coldest nights of the year where participants have only a cardboard box
for protection (and a sleeping bag for warmth if they’ve brought one!) It’s
meant to be challenging but fun, as participants take the chance to support
their local YMCA.
Following the fun and huge success of our Sleep Easy event in
March 2015 and 2016, YMCA Sutton Coldfield will be undertaking the challenge
again this year to raise vital funds to continue the important work our
organisation is delivering. We are looking for individuals, families,
businesses and schools to support us in this event, either by sponsoring a box,
or by participating themselves. We are hoping to have over 100 participants
this year, and we would love you to be part of the fun!
Hot food and drinks will be provided during the evening and
there will be plenty of activities and games to keep you warm. We will even
provide the cardboard boxes!
The
Sutton Coldfield YMCA Sleep Easy will be taking place, on:
Friday 31st
March 2017 from 7pm to 6am the
next morning At Gracechurch Shopping
Centre, Sutton Coldfield
Please
consider participating or sponsoring us! If you have any questions or need any
more information, don’t hesitate to contact me on 0121 354 5614. You can also
