**APPLICATIONS NOW CLOSED**
 

The Sweat vs Steam Run Event raises money to support our local community, with funds raised through the running of our annual run event going back into our community through our Community Grants Program. In 2023, we were able to donate over $15,000 back into the community, supporting 18 different organisations and individuals! 

 

The Sweat vs Steam Event means we can:

 

• Offer our community the chance to participate in recreation-based activities.

• Financially support individuals, schools or community groups. 

• Provide the chance for individuals to build self-confidence.

• Foster a sense of community and connection.
