Houston, October 1, 2018 – Covenant House Texas (CHT) is pleased to have Jamey Rootes, President, Houston Texans, as honorary chair of Sleep Out: Executive Edition. Houston business and community leaders are sleeping out on the cold hard ground of the CHT campus on the night of November 15th in an effort to raise awareness and support for the programs and services provided to CHT youth.
The event kicks off with a community social at 6pm, followed by a candlelight vigil. Then, Sleepers will spend the night meeting with the homeless, hearing the personal stories of CHT residents, and sleeping on the ground to support the cause. Our goal this year is to raise $660,000.
