Four Bucks County nonprofits are once again coming together to host the 3rd Annual Coldest Night of the Year (CNOY) walk in Doylestown. This impactful, family-friendly winter fundraising event will take place on February 22, 2024, supporting critical programs and services for individuals and families facing homelessness and hunger in Bucks County.
In collaboration with the Bucks County Opportunity Council (BCOC), Bucks County Housing Group (BCHG), Family Service Association of Bucks County (FSA), and YWCA Bucks County, this annual walk raises much-needed funds to support community members through the collective efforts of the Serving Bucks Together (SBT) Center in Warminster.
The walk begins at the Justice Center in Doylestown, where participants will register, submit their fundraising totals, and embark on either a 2K or 5K route through the town. Along the way, participants can enjoy rest stops with warm beverages to keep spirits high. The evening will conclude with a celebratory meal at the James Lorah Auditorium, bringing walkers together to recognize their efforts and achievements.
Virtual participants will also have the opportunity to design their own routes, walking solo or with family and friends in their communities. Walkers raising over $150 (or $75 for youth) will receive the iconic CNOY hat as a symbol of their dedication.
