Pillow Fight 2012 is a large-scale fundraising event hosted by Circle K International at UCLA to raise money for Alexandria House, a transitional residence and neighborhood center located in downtown Los Angeles. Held on Saturday, January 14, 2012, the event will bring together UCLA students and participants from all over California for a massive pillow fight. In addition, there will be a variety of activities and performances!

Alexandria House

Founded in 1996, Alexandria House is a non-profit transitional residence and house of hospitality providing safe and supportive housing for women and children in the process of moving from emergency shelter to permanent housing. Located in the densely populated and ethnically diverse Mid-Wilshire area, Alexandria House also serves its broader neighborhood community by providing educational and enrichment opportunities for residents and neighbors alike.

In response to the compelling needs of the women and children living in the house, as well as the neighborhood needs before us each day, the goal of Alexandria House is to be a community-oriented transitional house and neighborhood center which is intentionally multicultural, antiracist and where the needs of women who are economically poor are central.
