Kelly Wernersbach, owner of Adjust Your Sleep Mattress Boutique, in Marlton, is inviting the community to participate in their first-ever Sleep-A-Thon from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. on October 5. The event will raise funds for two vital causes: the Butterfly Effect—United Against Domestic Violence and Peace for Police. More than 20 participants will take on the challenge of staying in bed for eight hours while gathering sponsorships for every hour they remain.

Wernersbach explains the playful origin of the event: “The idea started as a joke among friends about staying in bed for charity, and now we’re making it a reality to support these incredible causes.”

The Butterfly Effect works to raise awareness of domestic violence and provides holistic support for survivors, while Peace for Police offers assistance to local law enforcement and their families in times of need. Sleepers will be fed throughout the day, with local donations from Jersey Mike’s, Cava and The Turning Point, while enjoying entertainment such as psychic readings, massages, dream interpretation and sound baths.

Location: 888 Rte. 73 N. For more information, call 856-357-3640, email [email protected] or visit www.AYSMattress.com.
