In 2020 ASE Senior Partners Dylan Knight, Pete Fagan, and Grant McLoughlin gained a small glimpse into the daily reality for tens of thousands of Australians on one of the longest and coldest nights of the year.
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the 2020 event was live-streamed with participants taking part from their homes. There were three options, sleep on the couch, in your car, or in the backyard. We chose to sleep in our backyards, with the intention of raising, not only awareness but money for this good cause.
In 2023 ASE once again supported this worthy cause, raising a record amount. This was Grant`s 3rd time supporting Vinnies and it is our intention to make it our 4th year in June 2024.
Nationally, well over $60 million has been raised since the Vinnies CEO Sleepout first started 17 years ago in Sydney. Vinnies CEO Sleepout raises money for crisis accommodation, food, healthcare, counseling, education, employment, and support to find a permanent home for thousands of people across Australia. More than 116,000 people in Australia don’t have a safe and secure place to live, including an increasing number of Australian youth and elderly citizens.
