In 2006, the first annual Reggie's Sleepout raised awareness and money to address the critical problem of Youth Homelessness in central Iowa. More than 600 campers registered, and over 1000 individuals contributed to the cause, to raise nearly $60,000. In 2007, more than 800 slept out and $138,000 was raised. Help make 2008 a success by volunteering or participating. To volunteer go to www.reggiessleepout.org and click "Register to Volunteer".
