Where Fun, Community And Life-changing Impact Come Together

Taking part in a Variety Queensland event is an exciting and fun way to raise funds for children in need. As well as helping children and their families, events are a wonderful opportunity to connect with Variety supporters and local communities – and experience what it means to be part of the ‘Variety Family’.
