One Night Without Warmth (2/22/12)

ONE NIGHT WITHOUT WARMTH - Feb 22, 2012

FACT#2 MANY CHILDREN ARE AT RISK OF SICKNESS THAT COULD BE PREVENTED WITH A WARM WINTER COAT

“One Night Without Warmth” (ONWW) is a national awareness event designed to support Operation Warm’s mission to provide new winter coats for children in need.  The national awareness event’s theme is to:

  •  Draw attention to the large numbers of children living in poverty in the United States
  • Share in Operation Warm’s work to alleviate some effects of childhood poverty by providing new, winter coats to children in need. 

The event can be tailored to be fun and engaging for varying groups and locations.  For example, an elementary school  participating may do something very different (a spare change drive) than a workplace (which may host a happy hour fundraiser) or even a university group (standing out in the cold for 10 minutes without coats as childhood poverty statistics are shared and then as a group going out for hot cocoa to benefit Operation Warm).  We encourage partnering groups and locations to be creative in the execution of their particular event. 

For creative event ideas click here: ONWW Corporate and Community Setting or ONWW Colleges and High School Setting. Additional resources for events can be found here on our website.
