Atlanta nonprofit, Our House, has served atlanta families such as these since 1988. On the organization’s 30th anniversary, the organization asked my team to conceive of an inclusive fundraising event that could be repeated annually.
In 2018, The first annual “Wheels 4 Walls” sleep-in FUNDRAISER made its premiere. Participants gathered in a parking lot across from ATLANTA’s MLK JR. National Historic Site to sleEP in their cars for one night in an act of solidarity for families experiencing homelessness. Wheels 4 walls is now an annual fundraisER open to the public.
