From Dirt Tracks to Charity: Weston Works is a great Supporter of Variety’s Epic Motoring Events

Weston Works isn’t just about gear; we’re all about giving back. We’ve been teaming up with Variety since 2012, the children’s charity that’s making a huge difference in the lives of kids who need it most.

Variety’s Motoring Events: Where Good Times Meet a Great Cause

Ever wondered what it’s like to hit the dirt tracks in a 30-year-old car or ride through the outback on a Postie bike, all for a great cause?

That’s what Variety’s legendary B to B Bash, NSW Bash, 4WD Adventure, and Postie Bike Dash are all about. These aren’t just any charity events, they’re epic outback journeys that raise cash for kids who are doing it tough. And let’s be real, who wouldn’t want to join in on some dusty fun while making a difference?

Richard from Weston Works knows the drill, he kicked off his Variety journey back in 2012 with his first B to B Bash and has since racked up two more B to B Bash’s, eleven Dashes and four 4WD Adventures. That’s a whole lot of dirt with no signs of slowing down.

But it’s not just about the ride, it’s about the impact these events have on everyone.

Variety: Putting the “Fun” in Fundraising

In 2023, Variety supported over 27,000 kids in NSW and the ACT alone. That’s a lot of smiles, a lot of support, and a lot of lives changed. This isn’t your typical charity, it’s a movement and often considered a family. Variety has over 4,500 volunteers, making sure these events are always run well. Each year, Variety hosts around 60 events across Australia, creating joy and support, of course, a lot of lifes changed for the better.

Here’s a fun fact: last year, Variety raised about $17.9 million, with a big chunk of that going straight to programs that help kids get the support, and opportunities they need. Whether it’s mobility equipment, communication aids, or scholarships for sports, education, and the arts, Variety makes sure no kid gets left behind.
