How to Support our Work
Feature Speaker
Our feature speaker, Joe Roberts is an inspiration to youth and an endless advocate for youth housing. He was a homeless addict as a young man and turned his life around to walk across Canada in 2017, raising nearly a million dollars for the cause. Help us bring Joe to the event by paying $3,000.
Beggar's Banquet
At the last Roughing It event, some people got a gourmet meal, some got a meager meal and some got a bowl of rice. This illustration of the health effects of food costs is visceral. You could sponsor this part of the event for $1,500.
Warm Clothing
Those who raise funds and attend the event spend the night outside. They need head covering and mitts to keep them warm. Your contribution of $1,500 would pay for these.
Buy a Bed
One lucky person attending the event can sleep on a new bed for the night and then take it home with them. Your support in the amount of $1,000 would purchase this bed for them.
Warm Breakfast
After spending the night outside, everyone needs a warm breakfast. Roughing It participants will get hot coffee or tea and a breakfast sandwich to help them face the day. Your cost for the breakfast is $1,000.
NYSA's Housing Fund
If you have other ideas, or wish to support us with funding that isn’t specifically directed, feel free to provide what you can. NYSA has an aggressive plan to build additional youth housing facilities and needs financial support to achieve this goal.
