With less than a month to go until the Coast Shelter Sleepout 2023, the call is out for more Coasties to sign up to take part in the event.
More than $130,000 has already been raised with Coast Shelter well on the way to achieving its target of $200,000.
All money raised from the event, to be held on Friday, August 25, at Gosford’s Industree Group Stadium, will go towards helping the most vulnerable people facing homelessness and domestic and family violence across the Central Coast.
Last year’s sleepout raised more than $180,000.
Participants need to raise $1,000 to be eligible to attend.
Those opting to sleep rough for one night will be treated to dinner (sponsored by Mars Food Australia), live entertainment, a Coast Shelter beanie (sponsored by Eastcoast Beverages), a Keep Cup (sponsored by The Agency Real Estate), coffee, tea and water provided by CSespresso and breakfast (sponsored by MoovModular).
“It will be an eye-opening experience and a small insight into what thousands of vulnerable Central Coast community members experience every night,” a Coast Shelter spokesperson said.
“You’ll be able to meet lots of like-minded people, connect with other Central Coast businesses, enjoy some light entertainment and hopefully you’ll catch a few hours’ sleep.
“We hope you can join us!”
Participants can join as an individual or sign up as a team and start fundraising with colleagues, friends, family or teammates.
