The Central Coast community is eagerly gearing up for the Coast Shelter Sleepout, set to take place on Friday, August 25.
The annual event aims to raise crucial funds and awareness to combat homelessness in the region while bringing the community together for a night of solidarity and compassion.
This year’s Sleepout promises to be bigger and better than ever and is proudly sponsored by local construction company Form Construction Group, a leading name in the industry known for its commitment to corporate social responsibility and community engagement.
A highlight of this year’s event will be the introduction of the first-ever Charity Penalty Shootout, featuring Central Coast Mariners’ star goalkeeper, Danny Vukovic.
With his incredible talent and dedication to the community, Vukovic is excited to participate and support Coast Shelter’s mission to provide shelter, food, and support services to those experiencing homelessness.
Sleepers will have the opportunity of attempting a goal against Vukovic to help boost the fundraising tally on the night.
The Sleepout will take place at Industree Group Stadium, where participants will experience a night of sleeping rough, providing them with a glimpse into the challenges faced by individuals experiencing homelessness.
“We are honoured to be the major sponsor of the Coast Shelter Sleepout,” Director of Form Construction Group Jarryd Sansom said.
“Supporting Coast Shelter’s cause aligns perfectly with our company’s values and our commitment to giving back to the community that has supported us throughout the years.”
Every dollar raised through the Coast Shelter Sleepout will directly contribute to providing vital services to those facing homelessness.
Other local companies supporting the cause through sponsorship or partnership include Eastcoast Beverages, MoovModular, The Agency Central Coast, Masterfoods, Wolfewise Creative, Kwik Kopy Gosford, Triple M Central Coast, Hit 101.3 Central Coast, Erina Fair, Kincumber Mitre 10, Eve Electrical and Industree Group Stadium.
As we went to press the event had reached its target goal of $200,000 raised, but donations are still welcome.
