Make an impact for kids with cancer.
This October, lead by example. CEO Dare to Cure is a truly unique and unforgettable event, bringing together senior executives and business leaders from across Australia to take on a daring challenge, to raise vital funds to help cure childhood cancer.
Join us and take the lead at one of our iconic events:
Melbourne – 17 October 2025
Sydney – 24 October 2025
Every dare helps fund vital research to cure childhood cancer.
CEO Dare to Cure is a high-energy day of daring challenges, big laughs, inspiring stories, and special guests, all coming together for a very important cause.
Last year, our courageous CEOs and business leaders in Sydney and Melbourne raised an incredible $1.7 million for childhood cancer research, funding the equivalent of 16 senior researchers in our labs!
But the job’s not done. We need to pioneer safer, more targeted treatments for children with cancer. And that is exactly what we’re doing. We won't stop until every child can live a long, happy and healthy life.
Together, we can and we will cure every child of cancer. It’s not if, it’s when.

“CEO Dare to Cure is the number one event that any CEO or leader should seriously consider doing.
It’s a chance to come together to help children with cancer. There’s nothing better really.”
- Chris Dutton, Founder, The CEO Magazine
Your Impact
At Children’s Cancer Institute, we believe that a life should be long. That every child should have the chance to grow up and grow old.
But cancer cuts life short for hundreds of children each year. In Australia alone, more than 1,000 children and adolescents are diagnosed annually.
Today, thanks to medical research, over 85% of children will survive their disease. But tragically, cancer cuts life short for three children every week in Australia, and for many survivors, life is forever impacted by serious long-term health issues.
By participating in CEO Dare to Cure 2025, you’re funding groundbreaking research to develop safer, more targeted treatments for children with cancer so that more kids not only survive, but go on to live long, healthy lives.
