CHARITY

Sleep Under The Stars 2017 or to make the best fortress/construction ever built!

L ast years Sleep Under The Stars event saw 231 amazing people sleep out for one night under the stars to help raise awareness and funds for Stepping Stone House, a Not For Profit Organisation providing medium and long term accommodation, development and care for youth aged 12 to 24 who are homeless or at risk of homelessness. In total the event raised a huge $275,758 which will go towards funding eight young people for a year and also another new house to help accommo- date them. The KSS Freedom Fighters consisting of 16 people and 102 fantastic donors raised $21,549. KSS were also Gold Sponsors for the event providing funding and Kennards Boxes, which were used very wisely on the night, either as shelter

The weather didn’t look like it would be in our favour on the day, but fortunately for 90% of the evening and overnight we had mostly clear skies. Although we didn’t win best construc- tion of the night, Fiona Harding from THQ, one of our KSS Freedom Fighters managed to be one of the top fundraisers collecting $7,661. This years event will be held on Friday the 26th October, we encourage you to join the KSS Team and help raise funds again for this very worthy cause. It’s a great night out, not to mention possibly the best views of Sydney Harbour you will find! Sharon Dux EA to the MD
