But last Thursday, Arlene Dickinson and Brian Burke slept outside on the ground in only sleeping bags.

That night, the temperature dropped to 0-degrees C.

Dickinson is one of the "dragons" from TV's Dragon's Den, a show in which wealthy businesspeople invest in new businesses.

Burke is the General Manager of the Toronto Maple Leafs hockey team.

Both of them have plenty of money and can afford nice accommodations.

They were "sleeping rough" to help raise money for Covenant House, which provides shelter and services to homeless kids in Toronto and other big Canadian cities.
