2025 SANCTUM 36 HOUR CHALLENGE

The Sanctum 36 Hour Challenge is an annual event that raises awareness about the struggles faced by people experiencing homelessness and chronic disease. This year teams of community leaders in Saskatoon and Prince Albert spent 36 hours completing challenges designed by people with lived experience and front-line workers to highlight real, daily barriers.

We’ll share the 2025 Challenge video soon. In the meantime, if you haven’t donated—or would like to give again—there’s still time. Thank you for your continued support.

Our Why

Sanctum 36 Hour Challenge formerly known as sanctum survivor Challenge.

In order to implement change you must first see the change that is needed. We ask community leaders who have the ability to create positive changes for homeless individuals in our community to participate.
Everyone’s reason for becoming homeless may be different but the challenges and loneliness of homelessness is the same.We want to bring empathy and understanding into the conversation of homelessness.
We want to motivate community leaders, community donors, sponsors and everyone watching the event to be inspired to make a difference. Whether it’s a movement or a kind gesture we all have the ability to implement change for the better.
Sanctum Care Group is a Not-For-Profit Registered Charity that works directly with populations affected by HIV/AIDS, chronic disease, substance dependence, homelessness, mental health issues, and poverty in Saskatchewan.
