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.
More information about Box World is available from Amanda Carmichael,
Secretary of the SUNY-Oneonta National Residence Hall Honorary, at
carmal91@oneonta.edu or from the
SUNY-Oneonta Center for
Social Responsibility and Community at (607) 436-2098.
