Associated Rigging are joining Camp Quality's Convoy to raise money for kids and families facing cancer.

Cancer can be scary, especially for kids. I'd love it if you could donate to my page. Every $50 raised helps provide respite and reconnection for a child and their family at one of Camp Quality's Family Getaways. Camp Quality give kids and their families a break from cancer and a chance to reconnect away from it all at camps, retreats and events.

The Geelong convoy is on the 22nd of February 2026 commencing at Beckly Park travelling through Corio down the Geelong Ring Road, through Waurn Ponds and back through Geelong via La Trobe Terrace returning to Beckley Park.
