Additionally, we are responsible for a number of high profile sporting events each year, the pinnacle being the GIO Oz Day 10K, which is widely regarded as the premier wheelchair racing event in Australia.
Among our fundraising events are the Roll-A-Thon Corporate Challenge & the Annual Golf Day which raise much needed funds and exposure for the organisation.
The programs that we provide, our Junior Wheelies, Rolling Rainbow & Her Sport Festivals are much loved by all who take part.
To raise additional funds, we offer a Wheelchair Basketball Corporate Team Building Experience and partner with TfNSW to provide a road safety program that aim to keep kids safe right across NSW & ACT.
