Active4Allowah 2025 🎉
What a day! On a bright and beautiful Saturday, our Allowah community gathered for something truly special: the Active4Allowah Big Day Out — and what a celebration it was! 🧡
Families, friends, students, churches, and local businesses came together to walk, run, cycle, and move in support of the amazing children and young people at Allowah.
By the end of the day, we had raised an incredible $12,114.50! 🤩
This isn’t just a number — it’s a reflection of the love, care, and determination that surround Allowah and the families we support every day.
Every step, every pedal, every dollar raised helps us continue to be a place of hope, belonging, and joy.
This year, participants of Active4Allowah challenged themselves to walk, run, or cycle throughout the month of March — all leading up to the Big Day Out, where we celebrated their achievements together!
A Community Celebration
The Big Day Out was a beautiful culmination of all the efforts made throughout March.
It was a day full of sunshine, laughter, cheers, and community spirit.
From hydration stations (thanks to KA SHOP AU!) to smiling faces at the finish line, the day was a wonderful reminder of what can happen when a community comes together to make a difference.
We are deeply grateful to:
- Bruce and family from KA SHOP AU, who kept everyone hydrated and smiling
- Students and staff from Barker College and Christ College, Sydney, who brought energy and enthusiasm
- Our friends from local churches who joined us in encouragement and prayer
- Our amazing Allowah families and staff, whose love and dedication shine every day
- Our event partners: City of Parramatta, Bunnings Warehouse Northmead, and Kennards Hire Rydalmere
Your support made the day not just possible — but truly special.
