While the night will be filled with a festival atmosphere, it's important to remember that... 42km is a long way! It's important to give yourself plenty of time to train in the lead-up.

Fundraising

Why do I have to raise at least $500?

add remove

Great question! This event is all about making a meaningful impact to Ronald McDonald House Charities South East Queensland and Children’s Hospital Foundation, and fundraising is how we turn every step you take into real support for Queensland’s sickest kids.

The $500 fundraising goal ensures that your participation goes beyond the walk—it helps fund vital programs, services, and resources. Whether it’s covering a night of accommodation, providing meals, or offering emotional support to families during tough times, every dollar you raise truly counts.

And don’t worry—we’ll support you every step of the way with easy tools, tips, and ideas to help you reach (or surpass!) your goal.

What happens if I don’t raise the $500?

add remove

We know it’s tough out there and that’s why families with sick kids and RMHC SEQ and the Children's Hospital Foundation are so grateful for your support.

The team here at All Night Long is here to help you reach your minimum fundraising of $500, if you need support, please drop us a line as we are here to help every step of the way.  Email us at support@allnightlong.org.au.

Just remember, by walking you’re making a difference.

Teams

How it works with individuals and team totals?

add remove

When you fundraise to your personal page, your donations go towards your team total. People may also donate directly to your team; however, this will not be tallied to your individual totals. Should your team raise more than the required minimum amount of $500 per team member it will be up to your team captain’s discretion whether members who haven’t raised $500 individually can take a share in the team total and get to participate.  

How many people can I have in a team?

add remove

Grab a buddy or round up the whole crew—teams start at two, but there’s no limit! The more, the merrier (and the louder the cheer squad)!

How do I create a team?

add remove

When you register you will be prompted to "Create a Team" or "Join a Team". Select “Create a Team”; enter your chosen team's name, team picture and information and you're on your way. You’ll also be able to share a link inviting people to join your team.

How do I join an existing Team?

add remove

When you first register you will be prompted to “Create a Team” or "Join a Team". Select “Join a Team” and you will be able to use the drop-down menu to select one of the already registered teams. If you have already registered but wish to join an existing team, look at this page to view the list of current teams: https://www.allnightlong.org.au/sponsor/teams/

Can I walk with a friend if we are not in the same team?
