Walk or run for Team Berry Street
We’re calling on trekkers, runners, walkers, stair climbers, cyclists and everyone in between! Take on a fun run, trek or marathon for the fun, fitness and challenge, and fundraise for us as you go!
Join Team Berry Street to help support children, young people and families to be safe, thriving and hopeful.
No matter what challenge you choose, we’ll be there to support you every step of the way.
Thanks to the generosity of our community fundraisers, we've raised more than $1 million to help fund programs and services for some of the most vulnerable children and young people in Australia.
Choose your event
Each year there are many great events you can join as a Berry Street supporter. We've listed some below, but you can pick any event, even if it's not in our list. If your fundraising challenge isn’t listed here, please see ‘Plan your own adventure’ below.
When you register to fundraise for Berry Street, we’ll be in touch with fundraising tips, and we’ll also send you a Berry Street running singlet to train in and wear on the big day. When your challenge is complete, we'll send you a Berry Street thank you certificate.
