We are very excited to announce that Make-A-Wish is once again the charity partner of the 5K Foam Fest, a foam-filled fun obstacle course that runs over 5km!

Our partnership involves Make-A-Wish staff and volunteers running the bag and gear check-in tent where participants can leave their personal belongings during the race in return for a $5 donation to Make-A-Wish. Volunteer duties include bag checking and cash handling.

This is a huge event for Make-A-Wish each year and we hope this year will be even better!

Full training will be provided on the day and no experience is necessary. It's a really fun experience and the best part is that you can participate in the event for free after your shift or at a future event (if you wish)! 

There are 6 events across Australia including the below event:

Oakbank on Saturday 25th of January 2025 -
Oakbank Racecourse, 46 Oakwood Road in Oakbank SA.

Volunteer shifts available:
Morning: 7:00am - 1:30pm 
Afternoon: 12.15pm - 4.15pm
All day: 7:00am - 4:00pm

We will endeavour to offer you your preferred shift time and may ask if you are available for an alternative time slot. The morning shift is busiest and therefore when we will need the most volunteers!

Please note that all volunteers for this Foam Fest must be aged 16 years or older and you will be emailed a short application form after submitting your enquiry. Once that has been completed, we will then email you to confirm that you will be involved in this event.
