The Sleep Out

The 2011 Sleep Out Campaign is our annual communitywide campaign to provide help for 900 families living in poverty.

Campaign Highlights

• We reached our $1.8 million goal! Funds will help stabilize 900 local families at a time when the need for basic services is growing.

• Peter Larson, in his final year sleeping out, exceeded his $100,000 goal. Since he began sleeping out 12 years ago, Peter has raised $509,143.

• We raised more than $310,000 through online giving as part of Give to the Max Day, giving IOCP first place prize money of $15,000.

• Three sisters slept out on their porch in a box for 49 consecutive nights, raising $2,500.

• We hosted poverty simulations at IOCP for area youth. More than 250 teens participated.

• Upsher Smith hosted its 4th annual sleep out and added a silent auction to their successful effort.

• The City of Plymouth was a great partner throughout the campaign.

• American Financial, a division of Allianz, organized its first-ever sleep out.

• Our new neighbor, Oakwood Elementary, coordinated its Family Service Night with the Sleep Out.
