BAA – Bunks Across America
Bunks Across America is a day for communities nationwide to get together to build beds for children who don’t have beds to sleep in. This day should stand as a revelation to those who don’t know there is a problem and a beacon of hope to those who don’t know there is a solution. We want as many people as possible to get involved to be a part of the solution.

Register Event
If you do not have it on your calendar already, BAA is planned for the weekend of September 9th. (BAA will be held on the second weekend in September in order to help you plan each year). Please complete your registration as soon as possible.
If you are applying for funds for BAA this year, you need to complete your registration as well as apply for those funds via the Chapter Portal under the “SHP Giving Funds” tab. Our goal this year is to have over 200 chapters participate and build 7,500 beds! We will have coordinated social media, media and other things to spread the word leading up to it and on that day.
BAA Shirts and Banners Package
In the spirit of transparency and to reduce costs overall, this year we have opted to NOT produce additional shirts or banners this year as we had several thousand shirts and banners left over from last year’s event. As such, we will be offering a special package this year. For $45 you can opt to receive 12 BAA volunteer shirts and 3 BAA Staff shirts. That is less than $3 a shirt! HOWEVER, you will not have the option to select sizes. Please note that last sentence – you will not be able to select sizes. We will attempt to provide various sizes as much as possible in each box as well as a banner. This is a first come, first serve basis. This is to help us dissolve the current inventory, and we just want to cover the cost of boxing, shipping, & handling the existing inventory of BAA shirts and banners.
