I am sleeping out on November 13th so that homeless youth don't have to. It will be dark. It will be tough. But for one night, I can give up the comforts of home knowing it can bring warmth and hope to young people who need it most.

Each year in 21 cities across North America, Covenant House serves more than 51,000 youth in their journey from the street to safety, and ultimately, to independence.

By participating in this event I am doing my small part to make sure the doors stay open for all who need them. It is with sincere pride that I take on this challenge alongside my fellow business leaders.

Anything you can do to help me in this effort would be greatly appreciated.
