Steps for Sleep 2025

Join us on Saturday, September 13 at DeLaSalle High School for a high-energy morning of movement, music, and community—all in support of better sleep for kids.

Now in its 5th year, this family-friendly event is stepping beyond the traditional walk and introducing Movement Moments—fun and accessible 15-minute sessions including Hip Hop Cardio, Yoga, and more.

Explore our Wellness Fair, featuring local organizations offering resources, tips, and giveaways focused on sleep, health, and well-being.​

It’s a celebration of how getting active helps us rest better, and a chance to help My Very Own Bed provide 1,900 beds and Dream Kits to children across the Twin Cities this year.

Be part of the fun on Saturday, Sept. 13 or Walk Anywhere, Sept. 1 – 13! Every step helps give a child a safe, comfortable place to sleep and dream.

Since 2014, My Very Own Bed has been dedicated to one mission: providing children moving into stable housing with the comfort of a new bed and a Dream Kit—complete with bedding, books, and a stuffed animal.

Founder Michael Allen saw the need firsthand while working in social services, helping families transition out of shelters. Too often, kids were sleeping on the floor because a bed was out of reach.

Thanks to the support of our generous community, we’ve delivered over 10,000 beds across the Twin Cities—and we’re on track to reach 1,900 more children in 2025!

Learn more.

Help make our event a success! Sign up to volunteer on Sept. 13.

We believe all children should have a bed so they can sleep well, dream, and find comfort in a place of their own. This event brings our community together – families who've received beds, volunteers, donors, health and wellness-related organizations, and anyone interested in learning more about how to improve their sleep, health, and well-being.
