We're working together to take steps for our health and wellbeing by participating in My Very Own Bed's Steps for Sleep on April 29, 2023 - a walk and wellness event focusing on the connection between exercise and sleep. Physical activity promotes sleep, and sleep helps us stay healthy and strong.
We're also taking steps to support kids' healthy sleep by fundraising for My Very Own Bed, a 501(c)(3) non-profit we love that provides new beds and Dream Kits (bedding, book, and stuffed animal) to children who need them - most of whom have recently moved out of homelessness into more stable housing. The kids receiving beds of their own have been sleeping on the floor or an air mattress or sharing a bed with a parent or sibling. In their new beds, they are sleeping better, which, in turn, helps them heal, grow, and thrive.
Please join us in supporting kids' healthy sleep with a donation of any size to My Very Own Bed today. Every $300 we raise will help one more child receive front-door delivery of a new bed and Dream Kit.
Please also consider participating in Steps for Sleep by clicking on "Join" in the menu above this message. You can walk around Boom Island and walk through the Wellness Fair on site, or walk anywhere the last week of April to take steps for your own and children's health and wellbeing.
