Urban Peak sponsored the event. The organization helps runaway and homeless teens from the age of 14 to 24 get back on their feet.

The organization knows the holidays can be challenging for teens living on the streets.

"It is a very, very difficult time for the youth who have no where to go and feel probably more marginalized than ever," said Kay Rmachandaren, CEO of Urban Peak. "To do something like this energizes them, and makes them feel part of the community."

Urban Peak says Snooze has long supported their programs and even employs some of the teens.
