Gold Coast-based CEO and Managing Director, Barry
Robinson will trade his Wyndham cap for a chef's hat to help tackle
malnutrition and homelessness next week.
The CEO and Managing Director of vacation ownership
company, Wyndham Vacation Resorts Asia Pacific, will put his cooking skills to
the test for the 2013 CEO CookOff, supporting Australians in need.
Mr Robinson's culinary mission has already attracted
$19,470 from more than 50 donors, including big corporate names like Di Bella
Coffee, McPhee Distribution Services, Metro Group and Associates, Xerox
Business Centre and Flowoxygen.
Last year, 130 business leaders and 30 celebrity chefs
cooked for and fed people in need and collected almost $1 million for charity.
This year, the initiative hopes to feed 1000 people and collect $2 million for
OzHarvest, The Big Issue and ONE80TC.
The 2013 CEO CookOff will be held on Monday February 11
in front of Sydney's iconic St. Mary's Cathedral, from 5:30pm to 9pm.
"It is a honour for me to be involved in the 2013
CEO CookOff and I am looking forward to putting my cooking skills to the test
to help Australians in need," said Mr Robinson.
"I encourage everyone to get behind this very worthy
cause to help combat food insecurity and homelessness."
Food insecurity affects an estimated one in 20 people and
homelessness impacts on 105,000 people each night, according to OzHarvest.
