Get involved. Make an impact.

Back for the ninth year in Sydney, CEO Dare to Cure returns to a new venue at Centennial Homestead, for an amazing morning of fun and hair-raising dares!

Hundreds of brave CEOs and business leaders will be submerged in an ice bath; some will have pythons slither over them; others will walk across fiery coals and broken glass while others will test their endurance in the 3-hour-cycle dare!

This truly unique and iconic event is unlike anything else in Australia. Funds raised for Children’s Cancer Institute as part of CEO Dare to Cure will support groundbreaking research into improving survival rates for the 1,300 children diagnosed with cancer in Australia every year.
