Box City Vigil 2009

May 8th 7PM - May 9th 7AM

If you do NOT go to Bloomington Kennedy or Jefferson and would like to get some posters to hang around your school or any other info to get students at your school to come to BCV '09, e-mail boxcityvigil09@gmail.com and we can help you out!

What: Food, service projects, speakers, entertainment, games on the lawn of the capitol, and other great stuff!!

What to bring: Be aware of the weather and the expected temperature for the night. Blankets are a good idea to have as well as sleeping bags and sweatshirts. Although we are trying to essentially simulate a night outside for homeless teens, we can't expect you guys to freeze. You can experience your night at the Capitol to any degree you want with whatever you decide to bring just try not to get too carried away...

This year there will be many new and fun things happening to keep the night going.

INVITE YOUR FRIENDS! We really want this to be a statewide event so if you know people from other schools in the Twin Cities and suburbs, invite them to join us!

If you have any questions or want some materials for your high school e-mail us (boxcityvigil09@gmail.com) and we will be happy to help you out!

Just by attending, you are helping take steps towards ending youth homelessness.

Make sure to check back for more updates!
