(Re)Insurance Sleep Out raises more than $440,000 for homeless youth of New York

(Re)insurance professionals’ participation in Covenant House’s “Sleep Out” on Sept. 25 raised over $440,000 for homeless youth of New York. Aimed at raising funds and awareness, the Sleep Out included more than 100 (re)insurance professionals, including CEOs, who slept on the streets of New York, outside Covenant House, while more than 400 homeless youth slept safely indoors.

“I am so humbled and proud of this industry for coming together to make such a real impact in the lives of the homeless kids at Covenant House,” says Andrew Bustillo, president and CEO of BMS Intermediaries Inc. and the board chair of Covenant House International. “The funds raised will make an immediate difference, helping us not only to provide food, clothing and shelter, but also counseling, and job training. Just as important, it provides these great, courageous homeless kids with the kind of family support that all kids need and deserve.”
