Over 200 Gold Coast business and community leaders gathered at Cbus Stadium for the 2025 Vinnies CEO Sleepout — a powerful annual initiative to raise funds and awareness for homelessness.
This year’s event raised an incredible $740,000, bringing the total raised over the past 12 years to $5.2 million. Every dollar has gone directly toward building safe, long-term accommodation for people experiencing homelessness in our community.
A special recognition goes to Colin Wheeler, our retiring Director, who has been instrumental in helping run the event since its inception. Thanks to the unwavering support of Colin and the wider Gold Coast community, real change is happening:
- 6 apartments completed
- 60 currently under construction in Nerang
- 40 more planned following this year’s success
The CEO Sleepout is more than just one night outdoors — it’s a movement for lasting change. Thank you to everyone who participated, donated, and supported this vital cause.
