_THE ULTIMATE FUNDRAISER

This challenge takes ordinary individuals and pushes them to their physical and mental limits – all in support of raising funds for Building Brighter Futures for young people.

Led by an elite team of ex-military professionals, 30 recruits will endure a gruelling series of physical and psychological activities over 30-hours across two demanding days.

In the lead up to the event, recruits will compete to raise as much sponsorship as possible for their involvement. As an added twist, our military team plan some ‘special treatment’ for the highest and lowest fundraisers, making the stakes even higher.

Think you’ve got what it takes?

_THE IDEA

When the restrictions of COVID 19 put a stop to the usual fundraising events, TCF had to come up with an alternative to fund the annual Youth Mentor Program.

As big fans of the SAS reality TV show at the time, Terry and Jezza had the idea to re-create the concept for everyday people who would raise money through individual sponsorship for their participation. It was an idea that captured the key principle for fundraising at TCF: a bit of fun for a great cause.

All funds raised through this event go towards the TCF Youth Mentor Program designed to build brighter futures for young people.
