Get revved up for Camp Quality‘s Convoy Perth

On Sunday 13 October 180 trucks will take part in Camp Quality’s Convoy Perth. After the success of the first Convoy Perth in 2023, the event is back bigger and better than ever with the goal of raising $250,000 for kids and families facing cancer.

The Convoy will depart from Perth Hockey Stadium at 9am, driving 53km around Perth City and Osbourne Park, before returning to the stadium for a Family Fun Day with Camp Quality families, volunteers, supporters, and special guests Sludge and Yogi from television show ‘Outback Truckers’.

The Family Fun Day will kick off at 10am with food vans, rides, face painting, roving entertainment, live music and an awards ceremony. The families will have a chance to check out all the trucks at the ‘Show and Shine’ and take photos with Sludge and Yogi.

Funds raised by Convoy Perth will support families going through the trauma of cancer like Gus’.

Gus was diagnosed with leukaemia when he was 4 years old. The toughest part of the cancer experience for his family was needing to isolate in hospital or at home while Gus was immunocompromised after treatment. Camp Quality was able to arrange a Family Getaway at a cabin less than 30km from their home.

“We desperately needed a break, but Gus couldn’t leave Perth. Camp Quality provided us with a cabin right on the beach, and it meant more than I could have ever imagined,” mum Lindsay said.

Camp Quality General Manager of Revenue, Sandie Hall: “Convoy Perth is a true testament to the values of the Perth trucking community. The event is filled with fun, excitement and laughter all while raising vital funds that change the cancer story for kids and their families.”

“Camp Quality supports families during and after treatment through our hospital programs, camps, Family Fun Days, Family Getaways and Cancer Education Program. Our aim is to help families build optimism and resilience through community, education and fun.”
