FOURBIE Cruise returns on Sunday, 1 March 2026 at Anna Bay and is calling on the region’s 4WD community to rally behind children facing cancer and the families who support them.
Now in its second year, the event will once again unite drivers from Port Stephens, Newcastle and surrounding areas to raise funds for Camp Quality.
The charity that has delivered joy, resilience and practical support to families for more than four decades.
With a fundraising target of $25,000, organisers are urging locals to get involved and help turn off-road adventure into meaningful support for families doing it tough.
The event is driven by Team Giggles – Newcastle FUNx4, a volunteer group combining a passion for four-wheel-driving with a strong commitment to giving back.
Team member Keiran Wyllie said the cause was one that resonated deeply with everyone involved.
“Childhood cancer doesn’t just affect the child, it impacts the whole family,” Mr Wyllie said.
“Camp Quality gives families moments of laughter and connection during an incredibly tough time.”
The Fourbie Cruise will begin with a convoy along Stockton Beach from 7.30am, departing from Anna Bay and heading south.
Following the beach run, the convoy will head to B Farm Murray’s for an afternoon of family-friendly entertainment.
“A BBQ lunch, raffles, face painting, an ice-cream van, and a variety of games will keep the atmosphere buzzing long after the engines are switched off,” Mr Wyllie told News Of The Area.
“The four-wheel-drive community has always been known for its generosity, mateship and willingness to rally behind a good cause,” Mr Wyllie said.
Organisers hope the combination of adventure, community and purpose will inspire even more support this year.
Whether joining the convoy, attending the festivities or donating, supporters will help ensure more children can smile, play and feel like kids again.
Registration and donations can be made on their website fundraise.campquality.org.au/event/view/fourbiecruise26.
