Truckies turn out in force for Adelaide charity convoy

Camp Quality held their Adelaide Convoy for Kids on the weekend. This charity helps children and their families fighting cancer.

It was an early start to the day with over 160 trucks congregating at Victoria Park in the centre of Adelaide.

The convoy departed at 9am with Craig Arthur Transport as lead truck after raising a mammoth $54,000.

They were followed in convoy by the second and third highest fundraisers, Ryan Collins (Collins Transport Adelaide) and Daniel Quaini (Bonetti Transport and Hire), respectively.

The convoy made its way through the streets of Adelaide. The convoy of trucks travelled 35 kilometres with onlookers waving and the trucks blasting their horns as they passed by.

On the return to Victoria Park the convoy was greeted by children and families that enjoyed a fun day with rides, food vendors and displays from various emergency services.

The total raised was over $210,000, which will go towards camps for them and their families.

It was a amazing effort by everyone that participated, and their effort will help bring a little sunshine into the lives of these kids.

Other award winners on the day were:

Best Presented Fleet – Collins Adelaide
Best Presented Truck – Paul Jolly
Kids’ Choice Award – The South Australian Metropolitan Fire Service Fire Truck

Well done to all involved who helped make this such a great day.
