Concert Properties is proudly partnering with Covenant House Vancouver to launch the very first Sleep Out: Community Edition - Concert Properties.
Concert Properties staff and their families will rally together on July 18, 2019, to raise critical funds and awareness for at-risk and homeless youth. Sleep Out isn't about pretending to be homeless; it is a way for our participants to show they care enough about these youth, to be uncomfortable for one night.
Concert is committed to helping raise awareness of and reduce youth homelessness, and encourages each of you to get involved and commit to sleeping out one night to raise funds for Covenant House.
You can ask friends and family to sponsor your commitment, and in addition to funds raised by each of you, Concert will also make a corporate financial contribution to Covenant House.
On any given night there are between 500 and 1,000 young people living on the streets in Vancouver. Vancouver's downtown streets are dangerous. Sexual exploitation, drug abuse, poverty and illness are commonplace.
Many youth are re-victimized on the streets, having fled one unsafe situation only to find their circumstances are often worse. Exposed to the elements, lonely, afraid and without hope; this is the reality for our youth.
