Be safe - wear a mask and practice social distancing whenever you are interacting with others.
Individual teams, households and family groups will be appropriately distanced for safety.
Cardboard boxes will be provided. For those particiating virtually, details for picking up your event packet and cardboard box will be provided later.
Participate as an individual or a team! Teams of any size are welcome and are entitled to one box for each $1,000 they attempt to raise. For example, a team that needs four boxes should set a goal of raising $4,000. Worried you won’t be able to raise $1,000? That’s OK, just do the best you can and join us anyway!
Gimme Shelter will be held regardless of weather conditions - because those that are homeless can’t always come in out of the elements.
No space heaters or camp stoves allowed. Please bundle up and bring sleeping bags, blankets, tarps, etc.
Children are welcome to participate, but must be accompanied by an adult. No pets, please!
Food and beverages will be provided throughout the night. Participants will be able to warm up inside the RiverPlex as needed. Indoor restrooms will also be accessible all night!
Prizes for the top fundraisers and top teams! Each participant will also receive a special Gimme Shelter t-shirt.
