By accessing the below links, you will find where we focus our main sponsorships:
Variety, the Children's Charity 
We are a major sponsor and active participant for “Variety – the Children’s Charity” and, having been involved for more than a decade, have raised in excess of $500,000.00 for children in need.
The culmination of our local fundraising is the week long Variety Bash through country New South Wales where we give away the proceeds of our fund raising to deserving schools and community groups. Our cars are especially themed to impress and excite children and adults alike. Daracon has two 1966 HR Premier Holdens, one with a large CAT Dozer on top and the other themed as a “cowgirl” vehicle sporting a horse and saddle.
