It was Pat’s eighth time participating in the event, bringing the total amount he has raised to over $660,000.

This year, Pat was the highest fundraiser in Perth and the fifth highest fundraiser nationally.

The CEO Sleepout is an annual initiative that raises both awareness of homelessness and funds to support services and programs run by the St Vincent de Paul Society (Vinnies).

It is held in Perth and various other cities around Australia on one of the longest and coldest nights of the year, with business and community leaders sleeping outside to make a difference.

Thanks to the generosity of Civmec’s delivery partners, employees, family, friends and the broader public, the company has raised more than $788,000 for the event since 2018.
