 I am so very grateful for your very generous support of and involvement with
Sleepless in San Diego 2008!
You answered the call to partner with San Diego Rescue Mission’s unique sleepout benefit to support the homeless and our life-saving programs. As a result, you are giving thousands of desperate men, women, and children the chance at new, independent, and productive lives – not to mention hope! Thank you!
Once again, in only our second year, the event was an astounding success. More than 700 participants, including Fox 6’s CS Keys and Pastor Miles McPherson from the Rock Church, came together as one. Together, we increased awareness of homelessness, raised a collective voice for those who go unheard, and collectively generated $350,000
for our programs to help the homeless and poor!
Throughout the evening, participants enjoyed:
- Special Performances from San Diego Youth in Action sdyouthinaction.com
- Special Video Message of Congratulations from Mayor Jerry Sanders (click here to view)
- Testimonies from 2 San Diego Rescue Mission Graduates (click here to listen!)
- Updates and details on the life-saving programs at the Mission that help the homeless
- Music from the following talented musicians
- Words of Encouragement from Pastor Miles McPherson, Rock Church
- Screening of Homeless to Harvard on our gigantic movie screen under the stars
- Snacks
- Fun with Friends
- The feeling of making a difference and bringing hope to the lives of hundreds of homeless men, women, and children!
Thank you once again for your support, and I hope I can count on your support for Sleepless in San Diego 2009. Planning is already under way for an even bigger and better sleepout than ever. It will increasingly become the talk of the town and become one of the philanthropic events not to be missed. God bless you and your family!
Sincerely,
Herb Johnson
President / CEO
