CEO Mark Bruzzone raises over $81,000 in support of the Vinnies CEO Sleepout

On Thursday, our CEO Mark Bruzzone once again took part in the Vinnies CEO Sleepout, an initiative Abergeldie has proudly supported since its inception in 2006. This year marked Mark’s sixth Sleepout and his second as an ambassador, raising over $81,000 and joining fellow business leaders and CEOs sleeping outdoors to support Australians at risk of or experiencing homelessness.

While one night outside cannot reflect the realities faced by those without stable housing, it serves as a powerful reminder of the growing need for support in our communities. With homelessness at record levels and more families facing housing insecurity, initiatives like the CEO Sleepout play an important role in funding the essential services, accommodation, food and support programs provided by Vinnies.

A team of dedicated Abergeldie volunteers also supported the event, assisting with setup and helping ensure the event ran smoothly.

We would like to thank everyone who generously donated and volunteered, as well as Vinnies for their continued efforts to raise awareness for this important cause. Together, these efforts help make a tangible difference in the lives of thousands of Australians experiencing or at risk of homelessness.
