2025 Vinnies CEO Sleepout

One Night. A lifetime of impact.

We thank the 152 CEOs, business and community leaders who supported this year's Sleepout.

St Vincent de Paul Society Victoria #DriveTheChange.

On Thursday 19 June 2025, 152 CEOs, business and community leaders and their teams stood together at Victoria’s 15th Vinnies CEO Sleepout held at the South Melbourne Market.

Recognising that together we can make a difference, the powerful message that no one should have to face hardship alone was sent and, we as a community, need to stand together and #DriveTheChange.

The funds raised from this year’s CEO Sleepout will directly support our frontline service, Vinnies Soup Vans, helping to keep the vans on the road, meals in hands and dignity alive for thousands of Victorians doing it tough.

Throughout the evening, the message was clear…together, we will #DriveTheChange — to build a better future for every person in need of warmth, connection and hope.

Chris Christofi making a difference

Reventon CEO and Vinnies CEO Sleepout Ambassador, Chris Christofi survived his eighth event and also was the top fundraiser for 2025.

This year was an extra special one for Chris who, after four years in the making, heralded the completion of his Brick by Brick initiative where his company, Reventon, built and auctioned a home in Mount Duneed in support of the St Vincent de Paul Society Victoria's good works. The funds raised will provide meals, emergency housing and rental relief for our most vulnerable fellow Victorians.

Over the past eight years, Chris has raised an incredible $1,233,561. He has rigorously supported and addressed one of the biggest social issues of our time – homelessness.

From everyone at St Vincent de Paul Society Victoria we thank Chris and his dedicated team and supporters.

You have and will continue to help change the lives of fellow Victorians who need it the most.
