20th Anniversary Three Peaks Challenge raises $150k+
90 participants tackled three epic mountains across three states – in just three days! – all for the greatest of causes
15/05/2024
Mountains were climbed, belly-laughs were had, and the odd tear was shed for the 20th anniversary Three Peaks Challenge, Whitelion Youth's signature fundraising event.
Sponsored by Crown Coaches, the event's 90 participants trained and fundraised for months in anticipation of tackling Mt Tennant in the ACT, Mt Kosciusko in NSW and Mt Bogong in Victoria, three of the highest peaks in Australia.
And the result? More than $150k raised will support Kids First's services for children, young people and families. From counselling to coaching and more, every one of our programs is designed to ensure all children and young people have the bright futures they deserve.
Led by a team of skilled and experienced volunteer guides, and supported by Vee Agency and the Kids First Marketing, Communications and Fundraising team, our hikers spent three consecutive days with packs on their backs and smiles on their faces, doing it all for the most important of causes.
"It's an experience of a lifetime," shared Kids First Director of Marketing, Communications and Fundraising, and Three Peaks Participant Clare Lombardi.
"We're fuelled by our commitment to the cause, it's kept us going when our bodies are screaming 'ENOUGH!"
The hikers were shuttled from mountain to mountain by long-time Three Peaks Sponsor Crown Coaches, donating their time, drivers and coaches for the duration of the event.
Whitelion's signature fundraising event for two decades, Kids First is proud to be continuing this legacy post-merger.
