Registration is now sold out. Thank you for all your support.
Urban Nights, a fundraiser benefiting Urban Peak, is a celebration of fashion, music and philanthropy supporting our work to provide a continuum of services for youth experiencing homelessness between the ages of 15 and 24.
Michelle Morgridge and Nate Angell will chair the event, and the evening will feature our live talent Too Many Zooz, food offerings, a live auction and the Runway for a Reason fashion show.
Funds raised from event registration and the auction will support Urban Peak's programs, including Outreach, Shelter, Housing and Support Services as well as case management and clinical services. Expect an energetic celebration supporting some of the most vulnerable young people in our community.
Urban Peak saves the community upwards of $20.7 million over the next ten years, primarily by preventing incarceration and avoiding chronic homelessness.

Urban Nights Musical Guest
Too Many Zooz
From the moment they hit the stage, everyone in the crowd was dancing so much that even if you were standing still, you were sweating. The combination of Leo P’s playing and wild dance moves, David ‘King of Sludge’ with his innovative self-coined brasshouse drumming, and Matt Doe’s outstanding trumpet sounds makes you feel like you’re right back in the depths of the New York subway stations where they started their careers busking. The set was jam-packed with songs that you can’t help but dance to, and so high-energy that they barely stopped at all between songs to catch their breaths – which is even more impressive with two of them playing instruments that require so much lung capacity. — via Spill Magazine.
