The challenge
Ten airport-inspired challenges. One spectacular zipline finale.
Canberra's Amazing Raise brings together teams of four from across the Canberra business, government and community sectors for a fast-paced day of teamwork, competition and fundraising at Brindabella Park. Your team will race through ten airport-inspired challenges before taking on a spectacular zipline finale across Canberra Airport.
In partnership with Canberra Airport
Building on the success of the Big Wig Challenge, Canberra's Amazing Raise transforms the experience into an action-packed team event designed for workplaces, community groups and friends.
But the greatest achievement will happen beyond the course.
The reason
Every dollar stays close to home.
Every dollar your team raises for Canberra Hospitals Foundation will help provide more comfort, advance local research, support innovative healthcare and strengthen the connection between our hospitals and the community they serve.
Funds raised will support CHF to create a better healthcare experience for local patients, families and health teams by:
Giving comfort
When hospital feels overwhelming.
Powering research
That can change lives here and beyond.
Shaping tomorrow
Through equipment, innovation and new models of care.
Building community
Around patients and families when they need it most.

Canberra's Amazing Raise is an opportunity to:
- Strengthen teamwork outside the usual workplace environment
- Give you and your team a shared goal and a memorable experience
- Demonstrate your organisation's commitment to the Canberra community
- Engage clients, colleagues and supporters in your fundraising
