Annual events

Splash for Cash

Splash for Cash is a swimathon where anyone can participate, to raise money to support RIDBC's programs for children with hearing or vision impairment. You can come along to the official venues and swim as many laps as you can on the day, or host your own Splash-out (in another pool on another day of your choice), or simply sponsor someone who is swimming for Splash for Cash. Check the Splash for Cash website for all the details.

Qantas Pathfinders Charity Flight

Every year for the past seven years RIDBC and Pathfinders, with Qantas as a major sponsor, host a fundraising flight to a delightful Australian destination. The day includes meals, tours and the odd surprise along the way. Previous destinations have been Longreach, Norfolk Island, Uluru, Hamilton Island, Tasmania, Sunshine coast, Alice Springs, Queenstown NZ, Adelaide and South Australia, and Fraser Island, and celebrities such as RIDBC Ambassador and international best-selling author Tara Moss have joined in the fun as well. Check the Qantas Pathfinders Charity Flight website for all the details.
