On September 25, insurance and reinsurance professionals will experience what it’s like to be homeless for one night. In an effort to raise awareness and funds for homeless youths, professionals from across the insurance industry will spend a night away from home sleeping in cardboard boxes and sleeping bags at Covenant House, 41st Street and 10th Avenue in New York City.
This is Covenant House’s first (Re)Insurance Sleep Out, and participants, ranging from CEOs to interns, are expected to exceed 100. Sleep Out is one of Covenant House’s largest event of the year, and will generate essential funding to help children not only survive, but thrive, as they pursue their journey toward independent living.
“Covenant House is grateful to the (re)insurance industry for coming together in solidarity to help give hope to so many homeless youth in need,” says Covenant House President and CEO Kevin Ryan. “Through enduring the discomfort of spending a night sleeping on the street, more than 100 insurance and reinsurance professionals will demonstrate their absolute commitment to calling attention to the unacceptable fact that young people are living and dying on our streets.”
