A Unique Experience Under the Stars
Join us on Friday, May 30, for a truly unforgettable adventure, Hike the Night.
This inspiring “overnight challenge” invites Victoria’s property industry leaders to come together and tackle the breathtaking Two Bays Trail - a 30km trek designed to test your endurance and raise vital funds to support the Property Industry Foundation's goal of supporting and building homes for homeless youth.
Guided by expert tour leaders from Take Shape Adventures, you will hike safely under the night sky with support at every step, including checkpoints and trail guides to ensure a seamless and inspiring experience.
We aim to raise $100,000 for the Haven Project in Victoria, helping break the cycle of homelessness in Australia and we will be joined by one of charity partners, Salvation Army so we can truly learn the challenges facing young people today.

Why Fundraising Matters
7,000 young people (aged 12-24) in Victoria were identified as homeless in the last census.
Every step you take during Hike the Night brings us closer to breaking the cycle of homelessness for vulnerable young people. Funds raised will go towards the Haven Project, providing safe, stable housing and vital resources to help youth build brighter futures.
We encourage each participant to aim for a minimum of $5,000. This ensures we meet our $100,000 goal to fund critical initiatives that give homeless youth a safe place to sleep and the support they need to thrive. By participating in Hike the Night, you’re not just taking on a personal challenge, you’re transforming lives. Together, we can ensure that no young person faces the uncertainty of homelessness.
