LET’S MAKE A DIFFERENCE TOGETHER

Give Through Workplace Giving
Workplace giving is a simple and powerful way for employees and employers to support children and families across South Australia.

Through small, regular pre-tax donations, your team can make a meaningful difference — one pay cycle at a time. By taking part, you’re not just donating; you’re helping create brighter futures for South Australian children while building a workplace culture grounded in care, connection and shared purpose.

Reward yourself

Join an Event
Joining a Variety South Australia event is a fun and rewarding way to connect with others while making a real difference for local children.

From iconic motoring adventures and community challenges to special events and gala evenings, every event brings people together with a shared purpose — helping South Australian kids access the support and opportunities they deserve. Wherever you get involved, you’ll be part of a passionate community creating real impact across our state.

Lets do great things together

Become a Corporate Partner
Together, we can empower every child across South Australia to dream, achieve and thrive.

As a corporate partner, your business can make a meaningful local impact through sponsorships, workplace giving, cause-related campaigns and event partnerships — while engaging your team and customers in something truly rewarding. Let’s work together to create brighter, barrier-free futures for South Australian children.

Your Legacy, Their Tomorrow

Leave A Gift In Your Will
Your Will is a powerful way to care for future generations. After providing for your loved ones, you may choose to leave a gift to Variety South Australia.

Every gift, big or small, helps children who are sick, experiencing disadvantage, or living with a disability to access the care, freedom and opportunities they deserve. Your legacy will live on in every smile, every new step and every child who gets the chance to thrive.

Life changing

Donate Your Hair
Hair with Heart is Variety’s hair donation and fundraising program, helping provide custom wigs for children who have lost their hair due to medical conditions such as alopecia, trichotillomania and other disorders.

When you donate your hair, you’re giving more than just strands — you’re giving confidence, comfort and the chance for a child to feel like themselves again. It takes around 16 to 20 ponytails to create one medical-grade wig, and every donation helps turn a simple act into something truly life-changing.

However you choose to help, you’re doing something extraordinary — giving kids the care, freedom and opportunities they deserve. Together, we’re creating a world where every child can thrive and belong.
