🚨 Exciting Announcement! 🚨
We are thrilled to welcome Nanaimo’s very own SIRREAL to our Roughing It event on September 20th! 🙌✨
SIRREAL, a powerful voice for mental health, resilience, and youth advocacy, will be joining us as we come together to raise awareness about youth homelessness. Through his music and community outreach, SIRREAL has inspired thousands with his message of hope and connection. 🎤💙
Join us in standing up for Nanaimo’s vulnerable youth by giving up your bed for one night so that others can have the hope of having one someday. Form a team, raise funds, and spend the night “roughing it” with us and SIRREAL to help make a tangible difference in our community. 🛌✊
Together, we can change lives! 💪💙

Roughing It is a one-night event where community members sleep outside to raise money for youth who are homeless or facing homelessness. In Nanaimo, every night more than 100 youth don’t have a bed of their own. Roughing It is not about pretending to be homeless — it is about showing support for youth who are homeless, about feeling a little of what it’s like to not have a bed to sleep in; and it’s about using the experience to raise awareness and money to help young people overcome their housing challenges.
Please give your support to the people and organizations that support Roughing It! They include the following:
