Register and tell us how you will participate for OFF THE STREET

Our biggest fundraiser of the year, Off The Street 2020 is almost here and we are excited for you to join us!

Starting at 7:30 AM on Thursday, July 16th we will be streaming LIVE right here.  There are a few ways to participate and show your support for The Place. 

Register

Let us know that you will be watching our LIVE streaming event by filling out the registration form and checking “YES” in the  “I will watch online” in the Additional Information section below.  This is not a requirement to watch, but helps us know who is with us.  

Breakfast-In-A-Bag?

Keeping with tradition, Picnic Basket is offering Breakfast-In-A-Bag for anyone who drops their donation off at The Place shelter, located at 423 E Cucharras St. between 7:00 AM and 10:00 AM.  We just need to know how many to plan for.  Also in the Additional Information, just click “YES” to “I will bring my donation…” and we will have breakfast waiting for you!  Can’t make it, you will be able to donate directly on the Off The Street webpage.

How YOU can participate

The Off The Street event is going to look a little different this year.  Everyone’s safety is our top priority.  Due to the COVID-19 virus, we will stream our event LIVE!  Though we are sad we cannot be together on July 16th, we do hope you will still participate in our unique event.  Here’s how:

Sponsor

The Place welcomes you company or group to become a sponsor of the Off The Street Breakfast. Learn the benefits of sponsorship and how you can help The Place put on its signature event.

Table Captain

Previously, the key to this event's success is "who" attends. THIS year, however, instead of attending, we need those you would normally invite to the breakfast to watch our streaming event. If you would normally "fill a table (or more) of ten guests, please ask them to come to this webpage to watch our video stream. Please contact us today for more details.

Watch

Come back here to this webpage on July 16, 2020 to watch our brand new video stream.

Sana Speaks

In 2019, our youth speaker shared her chilling experience and how her time at The Place (then call Urban Peak Colorado Springs) changed the trajectory of her life.

Anything helps

Many have asked to see the full video we shared (produced by Jon Eddy Productions) at the 2019 breakfast, while we were still known as Urban Peak Colorado Springs.  Since becoming The Place, our mission remains the same — to spark the young people we work with to exit homelessness and live a self-determined, fulfilled life.

 

Please share this video with anyone you think would appreciate the work of The Place.

Ready to Help 24/7

If you are a youth aged 15 to 24 experiencing homelessness, don’t hesitate to reach out, no matter the day or time. We’re here to help you find the support and resources you need to transition out of homelessness and build a self-determined, fulfilling life.
