Backpacks 4 Vic Kids Guinness World Record Challenge

Break a Record, Change a Life: Be Part of Our Guinness World Record Challenge!

We believe in showcasing the spirit and generosity of Australians, particularly Melbournians, to the world. By attempting this world record, we will unite our community in a unique and exciting way whilst raising awareness about Backpacks 4 Vic Kids and the increasing need for material aid to support babies, children, and youth. This is our innovative way of raising the donations of backpacks and the items we include in them so that we can respond to all requests for help.

Join us on Wednesday, 6th November 2024, as we come together to make history. With your support, we can provide essential items to vulnerable children and leave a lasting impact. Explore how you can get involved, as a sponsor, exhibitor, or attendee, and be part of something truly extraordinary!
