What is the CEO Wheelie Challenge?
The Sporting Wheelies CEO Wheelie Challenge is for participants to experience what it's like to use a wheelchair at their place of work for the day. Your insights into the challenges that you face, and what you have learned, can be shared with your teams, colleagues and community to build a more inclusive, connected workplace.

What dates should I put in my calendar?
The event date is Friday 30 August 2024. This is the day you will collect your wheelchair and participate in the Challenge.
Your fundraising page will close on Friday 13 September 2024, so you can continue to receive donations until then.
We will also be holding a Thank You event the following month in September, to meet your fellow participants and award our highest fundraisers.
More details on all these events will be communicated close to the date.
Is there a minimum fundraising amount?
To be eligible to participate in the CEO Wheelie Challenge, we have set a minimum target of $5,000 for each participant. But don’t let that stop you. The sky is the limit! Your generous donation will have a huge impact on the lives of people living with disability.
Is there a cost to sign up?
There is no cost to sign up, just a minimum fundraising target of $5,000.
Can I invite a colleague, friend or family member to take part?
Absolutely! We ask that all registrations are CEOs, Executives, Business and Community Leaders and Principals. They will also need to fundraise for the event and meet the minimum requirements.
What happens once I register?
Once registered, you will receive an email confirming your registration. Our CEO Wheelie Challenge team are here to help you every step of the way. If you have any questions, simply email us at corporate@sportingwheelies.org.au or call 07 3253 3333.
How can I donate?
Looking for a colleague, friend or family member who has registered, to show your support? To donate, click the 'Donate' tab at the top right-hand side of the home page. Alternatively, you can use the search bar at the top right-hand corner of the screen to find the person you wish to support.
Where can I pick up my wheelchair?
Once you have reached the minimum fundraising target of $5,000, you will be invited to collect your wheelchair and entrant pack at our Sporting Wheelies Para Sports Clubhouse in Milton with your fellow participants on the morning of the Challenge on 30 August 2024.
Alternatively, we can arrange for a wheelchair and training to be provided for all other parts of Queensland and Australia.
Where do I return wheelchair?
We would greatly appreciate you returning your wheelchair to the location you picked it up from.
What if I don’t reach my fundraising minimum?
We have no doubt you will not only reach your target, but smash it! However, if you don’t meet the minimum fundraising target of $5,000, you will unfortunately not be included in the Challenge on 30 August 2024.
Rest assured, your important donations won’t go to waste! Any money raised helps Sporting Wheelies continue our important services and programs, now and into the future.
How can I get in touch and find out more?

Can I continue fundraising after 30 August 2024?
Of course you can! We encourage you to keep sharing as your fundraising page won’t close until 13 September 2024. Every little bit really counts to support people living with disability.
