STUDENTS RAISE $5000 AT BRIDGE FUNDRAISER

LEAMINGTON — Students at UMEI Christian High School experienced a lot of learning and community building through participating in The Bridge’s annual SleepingOUT fundraiser on Oct 2.

SleepingOUT challenged its participants to sleep outside for one night with only a sleeping bag and cardboard and to raise much needed funds for The Bridge.

The 25-person team camped out on the UMEI grounds, and created many creative sleeping quarters out of cardboard and duct tape, while keeping mindful of social distancing rules.

The students and staff worked hard at fundraising, and ended up tying for first place, non-corporate team, after raising over $5000 for The Bridge.
