One night isn't a lot, but it can make a whole lot of difference
Every night, thousands of Australians experience homelessness. But it doesn't have to be that way. This year I'm taking part in the Vinnies CEO Sleepout to raise money for the St Vincent de Paul Society to support Australians 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.

It is also a very good reminder (if we need it..) of the increasing number of homeless persons on the Gold Coast that need support.

Hey Luke, Mate, since working with you for over 5 years now, you’ve been nothing but a legend — always solid, always supportive. I just saw you’re doing your 5th Vinnies CEO Sleepout, and honestly, hats off to you. Of course I’ll be donating — and not just to tick a box, but because I know that money will go toward giving someone the dignity of a warm bed and a shot at a better life in this amazing country we live in. Keep doing what you’re doing. You’re an example of real leadership. - Diogo Grecco Giglio
