Hope Calloway: A Night on the Town
Hope Calloway: A Night on the Town
HOPE Calloway’s biggest community awareness and fundraiser event of the year is called “A Night on the Town.” A Night on the Town is an event that provides a powerful opportunity for our community to learn about homelessness, raise awareness for our friends without an address, and experience a bit of what it might be like to be outside, overnight, in the hottest part of our humid Kentucky summers. “Box dwellers” commit to spending 7 hours outside in a cardboard box. Box dwellers come from all walks of life: local government leaders, police officers, pastors, business leaders, students, grandmas and grandpas, moms and dads. Each box dweller is challenged to raise $1,000 to help HOPE Calloway continue doing all we do to help our community throughout the year.
You can get involved with us by donating or signing up to be a box dweller, business sponsor, or volunteer for the event!
There is also a cornhole tournament, available for teams to register for. All participants must be at least 14-years-old. Cornhole boards, bags, and score board will be provided. Teams may bring their own bags and boards for practice. Teams will be expected to keep their own score. Four teams will play simultaneously on two pre-set courts.
