Join in the Real Estate Sleep Out

5 July 2017

Auctioneer Damien Cooley is calling on the real estate agents to sleep out on Bondi beach on 24 July 2017 to help raise money for Father Chris Riley’s Youth Off The Streets.

Last year Damien, Director of Cooley Auctions and REINSW Board Member, organised the first ever Real Estate Sleep Out event.

So far this year 137 people have registered to sleep out on Bondi beach and have raised over $109,527, but it's still not too late to join in.
 

Damien said: “I believe that the property industry has so much to give Youth Off The Streets and that there is a synergy between what we do and the value that Youth Off The Streets uphold.

“Last year for the inaugural Real Estate Sleep Out, we had 104 people from the real estate industry sleeping out on Bondi Beach and raised just over $134,000.

"This year, we would love the whole real estate community to get behind and support this event by promoting it within their networks”

On any given night in Australia over 44,000 young people are homeless. Youth Off The Streets offers care to young people aged 12 - 22 who are homeless, abused, suffering from addiction or in general need of help. 

Anyone interested in sleeping out can register for $55 here. Alternatively you can donate here.

Father Chris Riley said: “The Real Estate Sleep Out was amazing because we have been looking for something magic to raise money but have never been able to nail it.

“The donations which come to us are really crucial. We keep opening new services and people believe in us because we do that.

“I hope the Real Estate Sleep Out will change the landscape of our fundraising.”
