Get ready for an evening of energetic music and fun to support kids!

Make a real difference in the lives of children at our reimagined annual fundraiser Bed Rocks. We are excited to launch a welcoming and inclusive event designed for adults in our community. Families are invited to join us for Steps for Sleep in the fall.

Bed Rocks features live music by Brass Solidarity and Luke Warm & the Cool Hands, craft beers, delicious appetizers, our popular silent auction, and an exciting live auction and program hosted by comedian Miss Shannan.

Help us reach our goal of providing 1900 kids with new beds and Dream Kits of their own in 2025!

At our 10th Annual Beds & Bluegrass, we announced that our signature fundraiser will have a new look and feel – under the new brand, “Bed Rocks.” We are excited to launch this playful and vibrant new brand, created by Lee Branding, empowering us to create a more welcoming and inclusive event. This is one example of the many ways we are growing and evolving for the future of our organization and our ability to keep reaching thousands of children with new beds of their own.

About My Very Own Bed

Since our founding in 2014, My Very Own Bed has had one goal: to provide new beds and Dream Kits (bedding, books, and stuffed animals) to children moving into stable housing. The impact of a new bed is immediate; improving where and how children sleep improves their overall health and well-being.

With support from our volunteers, donors, and referral partners, we have reached more than 9000 children throughout the Twin Cities metro area since 2014. As our funding and network grow, so does our ability to impact even more kids' lives. Learn more at myveryownbed.org.
