The power of teamwork
End Youth Homelessness
Sleep At The ’G is a unique opportunity to get your friends, family, colleagues, neighbours, or your club together and join you in sleeping at the MCG.
You'll learn about the issues facing young people and hear first-hand their personal stories that will inspire you and broaden your understanding of homelessness.
Of course it's also a night of fun and entertainment with live music, games, DJs, a fashion parade, prizes and lots more!
It's an unforgettable night to share together.
#MCMSLEEPATTHEG

your experience on social media and use the event hashtag - #MCMSleepAtTheG
