Execs brave frigid Detroit night for homeless charity

Forty business executives, college administrators and other professionals found out firsthand, for at least one night, what it's like to be homeless in Detroit. Wayne State University President M. Roy Wilson and his wife, Jacqueline Wilson, were among those given a pair of cardboard boxes and a sleeping bag for their night on an outdoor basketball court on the grounds of Covenant House Michigan, a nonprofit that offers support to the thousands of young people who are homeless in Detroit. The "Sleep Out" Thursday night and early Friday was designed to raise money for Covenant House and awareness about youth homelessness.
