Coca-Cola
boss Alison Watkins has started rattling her Coke
can one month out from her first outing at the 10th
annual CEO
Sleepout for St Vinnies.
"I'm
hoping you'll consider making my one uncomfortable
night as worthwhile as possible by showing your support
and making a donation to my profile," Watkins
said in a mailout to a unspecified number of recipients
this week.
There
has been a strong female turnout this year to highlight
the plight of women's homelessness. And the talent
is evenly spread across the states.
Someone
by the name of Gretel Packer is turning up at the
Melbourne Convention Centre for the Crown Resorts
Foundation Advisory Board, and she appears to have
some deep-pocketed backers who have put her just shy
of the $50,000 barrier.
Way
out West - at the WACA to be precise - Nicola Forrest
will be turning out for the Minderoo Foundation while
hubby Andrew 'Twiggy' Forrest fights the injustice
of free market trade on behalf of cash-strapped mining
billionaires.
The
lead fundraiser from 2013, Best & Less boss Holly
Kramer, is having another crack in her cow-print onesie
before retiring from the rag trader this year.
Southern
Cross Media's former boss, Rhys Holleran, is also
a show despite being demoted to the role of hired
help this month by executive chairman Peter Bush.
Other
prominent names making an appearance include RAMS
boss Martine Jager, Genworth's Ellie Comerford, and
Blackmores' top vitamin-spruiker, Christine Holgate.
The
Minister for Malcolm, Malcolm Turnbull, will also
be taking a break from the Canberra asylum to rest
his head at Sydney's Luna Park.
