Variety Splash is similar in style to the infamous Variety Bash involving roads and cars but instead is about water and boats! The charity event aims to have fun on the water through social and fun filled activities whilst raising much needed funds for Variety - The Children's Charity.

The three day, two night rally on Port Phillip Bay will commence at Melbourne Yacht Club Hotel Waterfront City Docklands with the first leg taking 'Splashers' to Sandringham whilst enjoying entertaining stopovers throughout the day and finishing at the Sandringham Yacht Club for a formal dinner. On Friday morning 'Splashers' will take the rhumb line across the bay to Geelong where they will be greeted by the Royal Geelong Yacht Club for fun and hospitality off the water. On the final morning, a relaxing breakfast will be enjoyed by participants before a leisurely approach back to Waterfront City, Docklands where the finishing line party will take place at Melbourne Yacht Club Hotel.

This year's ambassadors for Splash include a number high profile and much loved personalities. President of Yachting Australia Andrew Plympton, Olympic Gold Medallist Mark Turnbull and Hawthorn footballer Brad Sewell are among the big names lending their support to this great event.

Variety Victoria is dedicated to transforming the lives of children with special needs providing opportunities to increase their quality of life and fulfil their potential. It achieves this through the provision of equipment, facilities and life experiences and by operating a straightforward and transparent Grants program that draws on the funds raised as a result of events, sponsorships and donations.
