HARTSDALE, NEW YORK (DECEMBER 9, 2025) Braving below freezing temperatures, a group of 48 Maria Regina High School students recently slept overnight in cardboard boxes during the 26^th Annual BOX City to create awareness of and support the region’s unsheltered homeless including children.

Dale Williams, Midnight Run Executive Director, addressed the students gathered on the courtyard of the renowned all-girls Catholic high school before they began their selfless,12-hour commitment to a critically important community cause.
