Aramex Australia CEO Peter Lipinski and leadership team members braved the chill at the Aramex Sydney depot in Chullora to join the Vinnies CEO Sleepout, raising funds for Australians facing homelessness.
Each year the St Vincent de Paul Society holds a national event, the Vinnies CEO Sleepout, to raise awareness of the growing issue of homelessness. It challenges business and community leaders to sleep rough for one night and raise funds to combat the issue.
In its 15th year, the Vinnies CEO Sleepout is faced with a great challenge shared by so many people across the globe. COVID-19 has meant that all of us have had to adjust the way we do things – the way we do business, the way we socialise and the way we help others. This year the Vinnies CEO Sleepout was transformed into an interactive online event.
Since its inception in western Sydney in 2005, the CEO Sleepout has raised more than $30 million to assist Vinnies homeless services around Australia.
