Gold Coast 2026

Please support me to make a difference to local's lives!

Every night, thousands of Gold Coasters experience homelessness and the numbers are growing This year I'm taking part in the Vinnies CEO Sleepout for my 13th year to raise money for the St Vincent de Paul Society to support locals in need. For one night, I'll be sleeping outside as part of an eye-opening experience to raise awareness and bring home the realities of homelessness.

To help break the devastating cycle of homelessness, I need your support. Will you help me to reach my target? Donating $100 can make a huge difference to people who need it most. My heartfelt thanks for your support of this very worthy cause.
