Our Variety Bashers go above and beyond in their fundraising efforts, and then there are those who take it to another level.

As part of the 2025 QLD Variety Bash, Car 350 smashed through the $100,000 fundraising milestone, officially earning Top Hat status.

A huge congratulations to The Blue Dogs / Blue Dog Training - RTO 31193: Brad Deas, Dani Rose, Matthew Lewis, Nick Campbell, Paul Wilkinson and Auriel Robinson. Raising more than $100,000 for children who are sick, experiencing disadvantage or living with disabilities is an extraordinary achievement, and one that will help create life-changing opportunities for kids across Queensland.

Let’s give a big shout out to these Top Hat legends!

Variety QLD’s End of Financial Year Appeal is underway – and we’re so grateful to everyone who has donated so far.

As cost-of-living pressures continue across Australia, we believe it is more important than ever to equip young people with the skills and confidence to make informed financial decisions and build greater independence.

That’s why Variety Queensland created Australia’s only Financial Literacy Program designed specifically for students in Years 10-12 at special schools across Queensland.

This EOFY, you can help empower young people with life skills that matter through practical, facilitator-led workshops focussed on budgeting, scam awareness, and money confidence.

This , we’re proud to share a special video highlighting the incredible work of NRL Cowboys House.

One of the first stops on this year’s Yamaha Variety Jet Trek was a visit to NRL Cowboys House, where we saw firsthand the difference Variety supporters are helping make for young Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander women from some of Australia’s most remote communities.

Based in Townsville, NRL Cowboys House supports Indigenous students who relocate to attend partner schools, helping them navigate a new environment while building confidence, independence and opportunity.

From education and wellbeing to practical life skills like driver’s licences, MyGov accounts and employment readiness, the team provides truly holistic support for these bright young women.

Variety Queensland is proud to support the Girls Learning Centre, helping students access the tools and encouragement they need to thrive.

We hope you enjoy this behind-the-scenes look at their inspiring work and invite you to read the full story of the impact of this year’s Yamaha Variety Jet Trek on our website: https://qld.variety.org.au/stories/creating-waves-of-hope-for-children/

This , we want to tell you all about Variety’s Bikes for Kids! 🚲

For many Queensland families, purchasing a bike simply isn’t possible. Through Bikes for Kids, more children can ride alongside their friends, building confidence, independence and enjoying the freedom that comes with an active, healthy lifestyle.

And the best part? Workplaces can help make it happen.

Teams like ChampionX have rolled up their sleeves for team-building days, purchasing and building bikes for children supported by Variety. It’s a hands-on, team bonding way to give back – and a lot of fun, too!

Could your workplace help build Bikes for Kids? We’d love to hear from you. Reach out to learn how your team can get involved.
