On Saturday, 7th of December 2019, the world will unite to help raise awareness to the important fight against homelessness with what is going to be the largest charitable fundraising campaign in an entire generation.

Homelessness is a global challenge that affects us all men and women, families with children, youth and the elderly, and people with and without disabilities. Streethomelessness dramatically affects health and makes it more difficult to exit extreme poverty. It occurs in nearly all nations, and has severe negative impacts on individuals and on cities. In fact, the United Nations Human Settlements Program most recently estimated that 1.1 billion people live in inadequate housing, and thebest data available suggest that 100 million people have no shelter at all.

But this problem can be solved.

We know this because we can see it happening: countries and cities across the world have seen steep reductions in homelessness, and some have ended it outright.

50% of the funds you raise will go towards a local homelessness charity in our Los Angeles community. Local charities supported are: United Way Greater Los Angeles, Downtown Women's Center, The People Concern, Union Station Rescue Mission, Youth Emerging Stronger, Los Angeles Mission, West Coast Care, San Fernando Valley Rescue Mission and New Directions for Veterans. The other 50% raised through your event will be invested to tackle global homelessness and the refugee crisis. Global charities supported: UNICEF USA, Malala Fund and the Institute of Global Homelessness. If you raise over $1,000, your name will be added to a special mural at the United Nations!
