Message from Eric Pricco, Event Chair

We invite you to join us for the Sleep Out: Executive Edition Kickoff Breakfast where you will have an opportunity to learn what it is like for homeless youth to sleep on the streets and how YOU can help. Now in its sixth year, Sleep Out: Executive Edition will take place on the Covenant House Michigan Detroit campus on Thursday, November 21, 2019 and I am honored to be this year's Chair of the event. Since 2014, Sleep Out has enabled Detroit’s top executives to raise over $1.5 million in support of Covenant House Michigan’s programs to serve homeless youth. There will be an opportunity to register for Sleep Out at the Kickoff Breakfast and we encourage you to bring friends who want to learn more about sleeping out.

Having slept out for the past two years, Sleep Out is an experience like no other.  It is humbling, changes your perspective and provides a platform to make meaningful connections with our youth.  In one short night, you experience a glimpse of what it may be like to not have a bed, warmth, safety, or even a purpose. You will learn what it takes to bring comfort to someone who is broken and how to provide a path toward hope for the homeless.

You may be cold. You may be uncomfortable. And, you may not sleep very well. But, I can guarantee it will change your life. You may even thank me in the morning because you will understand why the mission of Covenant House Michigan is so important.

You have the power to make a difference.
