Spend the night outside at The Venue CU

The Venue CU serves as the primary community location where people can raise funds to support our mission by staying outside in tents, makeshift shelters, or cars. Over the years, community leaders, ministry partners, families, and students have gathered in downtown Champaign to experience what it would be like to on the streets without a home.

When you register, you will receive a link to a personal fundraising page you can share with family, friends, and other contacts so they can give on your behalf. Participants also receive an Outdoor Survival Kit, Participant Guide, and are invited to join us for the evening program from 7-9 pm.
