Smith Family Challenge done for 2021

With your support, Hamish raised over $18,000 in the 2021 Smith Family Challenge, and his team of five just over $135,000. The event, consisting of 65 competitors, so far has raised over $1,300,000 for the year… simply amazing level of support.

Knowing that the money goes to those that need it, really makes it worth it.

What is The Smith Family Challenge?

The Smith Family Challenge is an annual fundraising event that has contributed nearly $7million to The Smith Family Learning for Life program since it started in 2008.

It is an exhilarating 100km off-road adventure held over two days. Teams of four will navigate by foot, bike and on the water through a challenging course before reaching the finish line! The 2021 event will be based at Sussex Inlet, on the stunning South Coast of NSW.

In 2021 the event aims to raise $800,000, with each team raising at least $40,000! All Challengers pay their own event costs, so 100% of donations go directly to helping kids in need. This will help The Smith Family support young Australians in need to get the most out of their education, so they can create better futures for themselves.

Help us break the cycle of disadvantage without even breaking a sweat.
