The difference you will make

Why join a Variety SA motoring event?

A Variety motoring event is more than a road trip. It's an opportunity to experience the best of South Australia while making a lasting difference for children who are sick, experiencing disadvantage or living with disability.

Full Event Support

Travel with confidence knowing you're backed by experienced mechanical support , medical support and a dedicated logistics team committed to keeping the event safe, seamless and enjoyable.
Join a Community That Feels Like Family

The vehicles might bring people together, but it's the people who make Variety motoring events so special.

Whether it's your first event or your twentieth, you'll be welcomed into a supportive community of like-minded people who share a passion for adventure and giving back. Friendships formed on a Variety event often last a lifetime. Many entrants return year after year, bringing friends and family with them to share the experience.
It's a community built on generosity, laughter, teamwork and a shared commitment to helping children.

See Your Impact Firsthand

One of the most rewarding parts of a Variety SA motoring event is seeing the impact of your fundraising.
Throughout our motoring events, Variety presents grants to children, schools and community organisations across regional South Australia. You'll meet the families whose lives are being changed, hear their stories and witness the difference your fundraising is making.

These moments become the highlight of the journey for many entrants, providing a powerful reminder of why they return year after year.

Where does your fundraising go?

Every dollar raised supports South Australian children and families.

Your fundraising helps provide things like:
Variety Care icon - medical
Helping children access essential health equipment, therapy, wellbeing and family support — filling the gaps so no child misses out on the care they need.
Variety freedom icon - wheelchair
Providing children with disabilities the tools and opportunities to move, participate and experience everyday moments with greater independence and confidence.
Variety Future icon - book and pencil
Supporting education, skills and community connections that help children grow, learn and build brighter futures.
These aren't just donations—they're opportunities for children to learn, play, communicate, participate and thrive.

There's a Variety Motoring Event for Everyone

No matter what you drive or ride, there's a Variety event waiting for you.
Each event offers a unique adventure, but every one shares the same purpose—helping South Australian children live without limits.
