MORE THAN A GAME

A great day of golf.

A real impact.

Every team and sponsor helps Compass create opportunities for people with disability to work, learn, connect and live with greater independence.

Your support builds a more inclusive Sunshine Coast – on and off the course.

Compass Charity Golf Day 2026

We’re proud to be a registered charity partner for the 2027 event, and we’d love you to choose Compass as your charity of choice. Whether you’re running your first 5km or taking on the full marathon, your fundraising can help create more places where opportunity grows.

Every step you take in the 2027 Noosa Runaway Marathon can help create more opportunities for people with a disability to build confidence, discover their strengths and contribute to their community.

Adventure Crew

What if your next adventure helped you discover something new about yourself?

Adventure Crew is about more than getting out of the house.

It’s about trying new things, meeting new people, building confidence and creating memories along the way.

One weekend you might be casting a fishing line with friends. The next, you could be exploring a local market, enjoying ten-pin bowling, walking a scenic trail or cheering at a community event.

Every adventure is different because every participant is different.

Whether you’re looking to build confidence in social situations, develop greater independence, strengthen communication skills or simply spend more time doing the things you enjoy, Adventure Crew creates opportunities to learn through real experiences in the community.

Because sometimes the best way to grow is to step outside your comfort zone and into your next adventure.
