Our team is back for the Vinnies CEO Sleepout. Our 10th year!
This year marks our 10th anniversary, and we’re aiming to build on our incredible $600k+ total raised to date.
We’ll be sharing updates from our team about why they’re participating, along with reflections from those who have taken part in previous years. It’s a great way to see the personal stories behind the fundraising and the real impact that donations can create.
Some exciting updates
- Steve Allan and Matt Hingeley are joining the Sleepout for the first time.
- Duane Rogers, who was part of the very first group back in 2017, is back in action.
- Bessie Zhang will take on her third state, participating in Perth!
- Matt Oakey has been invited to step up as a Vinnies CEO Sleepout Ambassador.
You can donate to our teams across Victoria, Queensland, New South Wales, and Western Australia to help us make an even greater impact. See all our teams and support their efforts here.
The funds raised go towards services delivered by St Vincent de Paul Society Australia, including emergency accommodation, food assistance, crisis support, counselling, and long-term programs that help people rebuild their lives.
The Vinnies CEO Sleepout is an annual fundraising event that brings together business and community leaders who spend one night sleeping outdoors held on one of the longest and coldest nights of the year to gain a small insight into the challenges faced by Australians experiencing homelessness and people at risk of homelessness. This year’s event is held on Thursday 18 June.
