Lenox Advisors and Covenant House Hold First-Ever Company-Wide "Sleep Out" to Support Homeless Children in America

NEW YORK, Oct. 24, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Lenox Advisors spent the night of October 23^rd sleeping outside on the pavement surrounding the Covenant House shelters in New York City and Hollywood, CA. This company-wide Sleep Out, a first-of-its-kind for Covenant House, raised over $120K to drive awareness and support of homeless and runaway youth in America. 

Lenox Advisors and Covenant House have partnered to demonstrate the meaningful impact both small and large firms can - and should - have in their communities and across the country. The goal: defray the cost of operating Covenant House youth shelters that provide food, clothing, shelter and, ultimately, the possibility of a vibrant future for homeless youth. 

Following on the success of Lenox Advisors' Sleep Out, Covenant House plans to roll out Company Sleep Outs with many other successful organizations who wish to participate. 

"It was an awesome night and a humbling experience," said Greg Olsen, Partner and President of the Lenox Foundation. "This small idea on how we could give back to one Covenant House shelter has turned into a national, company-wide effort that now has the potential to benefit thousands of homeless children."

"The impact of last night's Sleep Out by Lenox Advisors will be far-reaching and dramatic," said Covenant House President Kevin Ryan.  "The funds raised will be used to rescue more homeless kids from the street. The example Lenox has set for other companies to follow will mean our human rights movement on behalf of homeless youth will gain unbelievable momentum.  Most important of all, by reaching out in such a personal way, our friends at Lenox Advisors showed our kids that they care.  When our kids learn that people care, they carry that support with them, and there is nothing our young people cannot achieve."
