Story Idea!
Albuquerque Opportunity Center. The Duke City SleepOut is a city-widef undraiser to benefit persons who are homeless in Albuquerque. Participants will secure pledges from family, friends and employers to give up their warm beds on Friday, May 2. A group SleepOut site is at the Albuquerque Opportunity Center shelter, 715 Candelaria, NE. This site will feature music, movie and snacks and a "best box" contest for the biggest, most colorful, most practical, most exquisite, etc. (start looking for LARGE boxes now!). Persons and groups are also invited to gather pledges to sleepout in their own backyards, church parking lots and school yards.
Individual sleepers are asked to contribute a minimum of $30 in pledges; families a minimum of $50. Participants will receive a t-shirt recognizing their participation. All contributions should be made to: Metropolitan Homelessness Project. For more information (and/or if your musical group would like to perform), please contact Shannon O'Keefe, 505-344-2323,shannono@abqaoc.org.
