REDARC announces Variety Children’s Charity Sponsorship

REDARC are pleased to be one of the sponsors for the South Australia 2024 Variety 4WD Adventure.

From May 4-10, 4WD vehicles and their owners will take on the Flinders Ranges for a seven-day experience. 

Variety – the Children’s Charity supports kids and families who are facing many challenges through sickness, disadvantage or living with disability.

The event is fully hosted and catered, with booked entertainment, hot showers and flushing toilets to ensure participants can relax and enjoy the experience.

An experienced outback team includes medics, mechanics, 4WD experts, a fully set up radio communications vehicle, satellite phones and aircraft.

The Variety 4WD Adventure caters for both experienced and inexperienced four-wheel drive enthusiasts with options to take an easier track or the more difficult terrain. REDARC will also be represented on the track with its own team.  

Variety SA Chief Executive Mark Magill was proud partner with REDARC, “REDARC’s support of Variety, with a specific alignment to our 4WD Adventure event is a natural fit as the range of specific off-road equipment gives our entrants the power to explore.”

“Importantly, the financial support allows us to expand our impact to meet the growing needs of children who are sick, disadvantaged or living with a disability in our State. We are proud to be in partnership with such an innovative SA Company as our values of expanding community support, particularly for children are aligned.”

The Variety SA sponsorship also extends out into the community with REDARC’s commitment as the sponsor for the Morphett Vale East Primary School’s Sunshine Coach. 

Sunshine Coaches provide transport to organisations that cater for children with physical disability, regional or social disadvantage, to enable them to access the community and to experience a range of special programs and activities.

Variety Sunshine Coaches can be fitted with wheelchair modifications, ensuring that all children can attend excursions and extra-curricular activities together.

Morphett Vale East Primary School Principal, Carolyn Mildrum, said parents are grateful for the service making mornings easier to manage while preparing for the school day and also reducing petrol costs.

“The teachers are happy because the attendance of students has increased and they are now regularly attending lessons, which in turn is seeing a lift in their academic results.”

Carolyn said students have enjoyed the social interaction on the bus each day and are beginning to show an increased confidence as improved attendance is increasing their friendship groups

“We are supporting 30 children to come to school and be returned home each day. For us this means three bus runs each morning and afternoon. We are collecting children from Aldinga to Morphett Vale.”

Anthony Kittel, REDARC Electronics Managing Director said, “REDARC are excited to see this year’s event come to life with our very own team taking on the challenge. Variety’s work in the community is incredible and REDARC are pleased to supporting Variety through sponsorship and our team’s fundraising efforts.”

“REDARC is a strong supporter of its local community and sponsoring the Morphett Vale East Primary School’s Sunshine Coach means the vital service can continue removing the barriers for children to access education and live a full life.”
