BILLINGS - More than 400 people in Billings go to sleep every night without a roof over their head. In the Spirit of Montana, a program at MSU-Billings is working to raise awareness and money to address this problem.

Dozens of students will spend the Thursday night outside with nothing more than cardboard boxes for shelter. The students met their fundraising goal of $2,000 dollars for the event.

Yellowstone County Commissioner Bill Kennedy agreed to spend the night with them if they met this goal.
