UQ Architecture Winter Sleep-out 2013

UQ Architecture Winter Sleep-out 2013

University of Queensland Architecture students will be sleeping rough next Thursday night August 29 for a good cause. They will be raising money for Mission Australia as part of their annual fund raising event to assist the homeless. Anyone wishing to make a donation can pledge support via the online fundraising portal per the link below:

In addition the School of Architecture will be hosting a barbeque on the evening of Thursday August 29 starting from 6pm and everyone is welcome to come to share in the informal discussion about issues of homelessness and housing affordability. Whilst food will be provided for free all donations received on the night will be very welcome.

If you are interested in a more active participation and wish to join the team who are sleeping rough, please email either Chi Tang at chi.tang@uqconnect.edu.au or Michael Dickson at m.dickson@uq.edu.au to find out more about the arrangements and maximising your fund raising potential.
