Daracon Group is all set to hit the dirt roads of regional New South Wales for the 2023 Variety Bash and they're doing it in style with a 1982 WB Holden Statesman sporting a fresh new look courtesy of the talented team at Trick Group.

Kicking off this Sunday in Dubbo, the Variety Bash is one of the biggest fundraising events for Variety – the Children's Charity NSW/ACT, which sees teams traverse the Australian outback in wacky cars, raising money to support disadvantaged children and their families.

For Daracon Group, the Bash is more than just a chance to embark on the adventure of a lifetime; it's an opportunity to make a real difference to the lives of Aussie kids.

"As we celebrate our 40th year at Daracon Group in 2023, we're thrilled to continue our 20+ year involvement with Variety NSW," said Adam Kelly, Director for Business Development at Daracon Group. "The Bash is a fantastic way for us to give back to the community and support Variety's vision of creating a future where every child, regardless of circumstance or ability, can be supported, included and equal."

With five team members and Car 10 plus a support vehicle at their disposal, the Daracon Group is gearing up for an unforgettable experience as they join 300 other participants on the Bash. Kicking things off in Dubbo on May 21 then heading through the picturesque towns of regional NSW the team is looking forward to seeing how their fundraising efforts are making a positive impact on Aussie kids before crossing the finish line in Newcastle on May 27.

"For us, the Variety Bash is about more than just raising money; it's about spreading joy and excitement to country towns across NSW," said Lauren Coates, Car 10 Team Captain and Daracon's Bid Coordinator. "We're honoured to be a part of such a great cause, and we can't wait to hit the road and make a difference in the lives of children and families in need."

Since 1999, Daracon Group has been a regular participant in the Variety Bash, racking up over 22 Bashes and raising over $1,600,000 for Variety – the Children's Charity NSW/ACT.

It's not too late to support ‘Car 10 - Team Daracon’ at this year's Variety Bash by making a donation and make a real difference to the lives of Aussie kids in need.
