The event aims to raise $5 million to complete the Leadership and Economic Opportunity Center (LEOC), a transformative facility for job training, mental health support, and community resources in Chicago’s Woodlawn neighborhood.

Camp from Anywhere!

Participants are encouraged to camp wherever they are — whether it’s in their living rooms, backyards, or local parks — to support Project HOOD’s vision of community renewal. As part of this unique event, individuals can set up their own fundraising page through GiveLively to help spread the word and inspire others to give. Supporters can sign up and create their accounts at the following link: https://secure.givelively.org/donate/project-hood-communities/72-hour-nationwide-camp-out-for-change.

As Project HOOD’s Founder and CEO, Pastor Corey Brooks, shares, “Our mission at Project HOOD is to break cycles of poverty and violence by empowering individuals with resources and opportunities. The ‘72 Hours of Hope’ campout is a powerful way for people everywhere to come together in support of this mission. Whether you’re camping in a park or in your living room, every participant brings us closer to creating a brighter future for our community.”
