Our events are unforgettable experiences that will leave you feeling uplifted, hopeful and reinforce the strength of our rare community. If you’re facing a rare or less common cancer, you are not alone – and our events will make sure you know it.
From our iconic Kosi Challenge to the vital policy discussions at CanForum, our events unite our community for a common purpose, with a shared determination to create a better world for rare.
Join the Kosi Challenge
Each March, we head to Thredbo to hike to Australia’s highest point – the summit of Mount Kosciuszko. It’s our biggest annual fundraising event, and an opportunity to unite our incredible rare community. Funds raised go directly towards providing support without limits to those living with rare and less common cancers.
Dry July
Rare Cancers Australia is a beneficiary of the well-known cancer fundraising campaign, Dry July. We invite you to “go dry” and give up alcohol for the month of July, make Rare Cancers Australia your chosen charity and raise vital funds to help us continue to support the growing number of patients calling on us for help.
Challenge events
Challenge yourself with a fun run, hike or put your body to the ultimate test by training for a marathon. Many of Australia’s iconic fitness events allow you to fundraise for a charity of your choice while you take part. Make every step worth even more by registering to raise funds and awareness for Rare Cancers Australia at one of these events.
