ONEONTA, N.Y. -- The National Residence Hall Honorary at the SUNY College at Oneonta will present an event called "Box World" to raise awareness of homelessness and to raise money for The Lord's Table community food program. From 10 p.m. on Tuesday, May 6, through 8 a.m. on Wednesday, May 7, a group of students, faculty, and staff will sleep outside all night between the Chase Gym and the Milne Library with only cardboard boxes and sleeping bags.
The National Residence Hall Honorary is accepting sponsorships of participants through donations of $1/hour for ten hours. Proceeds from the sponsorships will support The Lord's Table.
Box World will feature live music, sleeping under the stars in cardboard boxes, s'mores, and more. Organizers will provide some boxes for the event, but participants will supply their own sleeping bags, pillows, and additional boxes.
