On Thursday 17 June 2010, 684 Business & Community Leaders slept rough in capital cities across Australia, in a bid to experience first hand what it is like to be homeless. The already $2.6 million raised will go directly towards the ongoing provision of Vinnies' homeless services across the country.

There is still time to donate: Select a CEO to support or make a direct donation by selecting the city you wish to direct your donation to, then click the 'Make a Direct Donation' tab.
