It’s been another fantastic events year for King Performance Events, working with all our wonderful clients, suppliers, and stakeholders. Some of the highlights from the year include:
WALK4BCNA
October 2023
October is breast cancer awareness month and the team at KPE were thrilled to help develop and deliver the inaugural SWIISH #WALK4BCNA event at Metcalfe Park, Sydney.
The Event saw registrants participate in a 4km walk around Metcalfe Park, Sydney followed by a family friendly festival.
The festival included food vendors, health and fitness retailers, SWIISH and BCNA merchandise, children’s activities, yoga, massage and other wellness activations including a chill out zone. BCNA’s signature Mini-Field of Women area was also a prominent and memorable feature.
Events like this help to raise funds to ensure BCNA continues to support, inform, connect and represent all Australians affected by breast cancer.
