Why do I need to fundraise?
Your registration fee only allows us to cover the costs of running the event. This is why it is so important to do what you can to fundraise and help a young person experiencing homelessness have a safe place to sleep and a better chance at life.
Every young person deserves a safe bed and home to sleep at night – and you can be the difference.
Our fundraising goal for 2026 is $200,000, which will help build new bedrooms for the Haven House Project.
To achieve this, we need your help.

What happens if myself or a member of our team do reach the minimum fundraising amount?
We encourage all participants to do everything they can to reach the minimum fundraising amount of $350. This helps ensure the event reaches its fundraising goals and funds vital projects supporting young people experiencing homelessness.
However, participants will still be able to participate on the day if they are unable to reach the fundraising goal.
Fundraising can also be raised collectively as a team rather than individually, allowing teams to work together to reach their minimum fundraising amount.
What is the plan for wet weather?
We hope to go ahead with the event if there is light rain or wind. However, in the event of inclement weather or any other factor affecting participant safety, the Property Industry Foundation and event organisers reserve the right to cancel the event to maintain participant safety.
Any cancellations or changes to the event will be communicated in advance via email, social media and SMS.
Should the weather prevent activity participation, guests will still be encouraged to attend the lunch at RACV Cape Schanck.

If the event is cancelled due to weather or other circumstances outside of our control, a full refund will be offered up until 14 days prior to the event. After this time, no refund will be given.
