Vinnies CEO Sleep Out
The Vinnies CEO Sleep out has run every year since 2006. It is a time when Chief Executive Officers come together to sleep rough for a night to raise funds and awareness of the issue of homelessness in the community.
The aim of the Vinnies CEO Sleepout is not only to raise funds, but raise awareness of homelessness. Vinnies goal is not just to service the homeless, but to bring about an end to homelessness. The discomfort of sleeping on the streets is a fragment of the larger reality Vinnies hope to impart upon influential leaders of the community. With their help, and yours, we can fight the issue of homelessness together.
This year, Simon McMillan, the CEO of Banyule City Council will be sleeping out! If you want to know more about the Sleep Out, or would like to make a donation to the cause.. check out http://www.ceosleepout.org.au
