Vinnies Cranbourne hosted a fundraising event for the CEO Sleepout on Saturday 14 June.

Assistant manager of Vinnies Cranbourne Anthony Hanna said they raised over $800 on the day for the CEO Sleepout.

It is the first time the branch has run the fundraising for the Sleepout.

“A good start,” Anthony said.

“We just want to do something different to help raise funds for the Sleepout.”

Vinnies CEO Sleepout is an annual nationwide fundraising event to combat homelessness.

On one of the coldest nights of the year, business, community, and government leaders sleep outdoors to raise awareness and funds for Australians experiencing homelessness or at risk of it.

This year, the Victoria Sleepout will take place in South Melbourne Market on Thursday 19 June.
