Great Ocean Pool Crawl

Our story

For over 20 years, the Great Ocean Pool Crawl has brought the Illawarra community together for a fun and meaningful day along the NSW coast.

Each year, swimmers take on a series of ocean pools, travelling together and cheering each other on, all while raising funds for people affected by cancer.

With 141 people taking part this year, the event has grown into something truly special. From early morning check-in to swimming, buses, and a shared lunch at the end, it’s a day full of connection, energy and community spirit.

Our top tips

Make it fun and bring people along for the experience.

From group activities to prizes, raffles and a shared celebration at the end, creating a great day out helps inspire more people to get involved and give.

The Great Ocean Pool Crawl has raised $500,000 over 20 years.

Tracy’s Yellow Ribbon Ball

Our story

Tracy was diagnosed with sarcoma at just 32 years old. Within months, she had her right leg amputated.

“Drastic surgery was the most effective option in my situation, but I hope that with more funding and research, others won’t have to face the same experience.”

Wanting to make a difference, Tracy created the Yellow Ribbon Ball. What started as an idea became a powerful night that brought people together to support others affected by cancer.

Our top tips

Tracy focused on bringing her community together and sharing her story, which helped people feel connected to the cause and inspired them to give generously.
