 February 26 Brings THE COLDEST NIGHT MISSION, Hope Central and MY House are encouraging Mission residents to once again team up, fundraise, and walk in The Coldest Night of the Year (CNOY). This family-friendly, winterrific fundraising walk takes place on the evening of February 26, 2022 and supports people experiencing hunger, hurt, and homelessness in Mission. Tens of thousands of Canadians will take to the streets for CNOY with events taking place in 150 cities, towns, and communities across the country. By walking together in the chill of the night, participants will better understand the experience of being on the streets during a cold Canadian winter, while raising funds to aid the work of Local Charity in providing much-needed support. Participants will walk a 2km or 5km route, can warm up with toasty drinks at rest stops along the way, and will be able to celebrate their efforts together at the finish line. All those who raise over $150 (or $75 for youth) will also don iconic CNOY toques as they face the cold night. This is our 6th year taking part in the Coldest Night of the Year, and we are aiming to raise $30,000 to help work with people experiencing hunger, hurt, and homelessness in Mission.   Hope Central and MY House have been serving Mission for a number years, and the funds raised in the Coldest Night of the Year will benefit their clients in a time of the year known historically for low levels of giving.   For further information, contact: Calvin Williams, Mission Area Director, MY House Site Manager (604) 302-2346, calvin@youthunlimited.com Jillian Rogers, Event coordinator jillian@youthunlimited.com https://cnoy.org/
