The event is a sleepout in cities around the world for one night to raise awareness about global homelessness and raise $50 million in funds which will support charities worldwide to provide for at least a million people around the world. Half the funds will go to charities helping the homeless in towns and cities and the other half going to charities helping the 70.1 million people displaced worldwide through war and natural calamities.
