Thanks to Mazda Australia and the Mazda Foundation, The Long Walk is auctioning a corporate box for the Dreamtime at the 'G match between Essendon and Richmond on Saturday 22 May.

Fundraising

The Long Walk is a charity that works for Indigenous wellbeing by raising awareness and promoting culture and Indigenous lead projects. The charity operates year round and fundraises to support four programs that work for wellbeing. These include our schools program Get the Conversation Started, Indigenous Youth R On the Ball, the Indigenous Cultural Exchange and the Fellowship for Indigenous Leadership. More information on these programs. You can support these programs by buying a tee shirt, being part of the onground walk, bidding on our corporate box auction or making a donation here.

Other ways to be involved

The Long Walk relies on a large number of volunteers. If you would like to help out with tin rattling, packing orders, making volunteer packs and merchandise sales on the day find out how to volunteer here.

The Long Walk continues to gather financial support through various fundraising activities such as our key events, online giving, donations and sponsorship. We also gather support by networking with key partners and likeminded organisations like Essendon Football Club, AFL, Oxfam Australia, Reconciliation Australia and Indigenous Leadership Victoria.
