Host an Event to Benefit Sweet Sleep in Your Community!
Sweet Sleep has a small (yet mighty!) staff in our Nashville office and our Church Partnerships office in Arkansas. The word is getting out about the great work Sweet Sleep is doing around the world but we need your help to continue to raise awareness of the needs of orphans in your community!
You can help by planning a Sweet Sleep even in your community to help raise funds for beds for orphans. Below are some ideas for fundraising/awareness events and some resources to help with those events. But don’t let these ideas limit you! You may have a great idea for an event – and after your event, we can post your logos and resources here for others to use around the country! For questions about hosting a Sweet Sleep even in your community, contact Jon Merryman at jon@sweetsleep.org.

Summer/Fall Open House
At a Sweet Sleep Summer/Fall Open House, you can invite your friends and colleagues over to share with them about Sweet Sleep. When possible, a Sweet Sleep representative can come to share and bring Ugandan jewelry and items to sell to raise funds for beds.
