Eleven local charities have received a share of $50,000 from proceeds raised at this year’s Dubbo MotorFest.
Dubbo MotorFest 24 has donated funds to the Australian Skin Cancer Foundation, Give Me 5 for Kids, Dubbo Base Hospital Ward, Dubbo Prostate Cancer Support Group, Dubbo South Veterans Men's Shed, Dubbo Community Men’s Shed Inc, Help a Mate, Tradies in Sight, Leader Life, Macquarie Homestay, Pink Angels, and Country Hope.
Chair of the organising committee Lee Schwager said: “We are incredibly proud to be able to give back to the community that supported our event.”
“We have been overwhelmed by the support of local motor vehicle and motorcycle enthusiasts who turned up in the thousands at our event this year. We are also grateful to the hundreds of people who travelled from all corners of NSW and beyond to attend.”
Schwager added: “Our committee wanted to create an impactful event showcasing classic, custom and vintage cars and bikes. We didn’t expect our inaugural event in 2023 to attract 7000 people, and this year we were blown away with 8300 entering the gates of the Dubbo Showground in August.”
The event attracted 150 elite-level cars and motorcycles, and more than 1000 cars and bikes participated in the show-and-shine and motorcycle muster.
Dubbo MotorFest has been described as the best of its kind west of the Blue Mountains, and will be held again next year on Saturday, August 30, 2025.
