St Vincent de Paul CEO Sleepout 2011

 South Bank Parklands, Suncorp Piazza was host to this years St Vincent de Pauls CEO Sleepout. With at total of 122 CEO's participating in this years sleepout and currently just over $540,000 in donations the event was bound to be a success.

CEO's were encouraged to bring their own sleeping bags + warm clothing and cardboard was also provided to protect them from the elements.

Dinner? Yes you guessed it, a basic meal of soup and bread rolls, served with tea or coffee. I huge congrats goes out to the CEO's that took the time out to raise much needed funds.
