South Burnett’s 2025 Relay For Life fundraising campaign for Cancer Council Queensland will culminate on Saturday with the annual relay walk at T.J. O’Neill Oval in Kingaroy.<\/p>\n

The opening ceremony will start at 2:00pm followed by the traditional Survivors Walk around the oval.<\/p>\n

There will also be lots of live music to encourage the walkers to keep on going.<\/p>\n

The candlelight ceremony, which honours friends and relatives who have succumbed to cancer, will be held at 6:30pm followed by the closing ceremony at 10:00pm.<\/p>\n

The annual walk tops off months of fundraising in the local community, with key events including the Dinner With The Champions<\/a><\/strong> in July and the Relay For Life launch breakfast<\/a><\/strong> in May.<\/p>\n

But one of the biggest fundraisers this year must be the Ride 4 Relay<\/a><\/strong> and Cattle 4 A Cure auction which raised an incredible $51,205.<\/p>\n

Everyone is welcome to come along on Saturday to cheer the walkers on and enjoy the free entertainment and there’s no admission (although donations for the Relay would be appreciated!).<\/p>\n

Donations can also still be made online<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n
