What was the goal of the 27 October 2019 event?

The goal was to create a powerful emotional experience for children facing serious illness — giving them a break from their daily reality through the excitement of supercar rides and a supportive environment.

How do children benefit from attending these events?

Children experience a surge of joy, adrenaline, and emotional relief. These moments help them reconnect with a sense of normalcy and can positively impact their mindset during challenging treatment journeys.

Are these events only about driving supercars?

No, while supercars are the centerpiece, the real focus is on the emotional and psychological impact. The events are designed to uplift, connect, and support both the children and their families.

How are families supported during the event?

Families are included every step of the way. They get to share in the experience, connect with others in similar situations, and enjoy a rare moment of lightness and togetherness.

Who makes these events possible?

These events are made possible through a network of volunteers, supercar owners, partner organisations, and supporters who all contribute their time, resources, and energy.

Can children with different medical conditions participate?

Yes, children with a range of life-limiting and chronic conditions can participate, provided they are medically cleared and referred through trusted partner organisations.

What makes The SuperKids Trust different from other charities?

The SuperKids Trust focuses on experiential impact — creating moments that engage the senses and emotions in a way that traditional support often cannot.

How can someone contribute to events like this?

You can get involved by volunteering, donating, sponsoring an event, or participating as a supercar owner. Every contribution helps expand the reach and impact.

Do these events take place regularly?

Yes, events are hosted throughout the year in major cities like Johannesburg, Cape Town, and Durban, allowing more children and families to benefit.

What do families take away from these experiences?

Families leave with more than just memories — they gain emotional strength, renewed connection, and a reminder that joy is still possible, even in difficult times.

27 OCTOBER 2019

Past Event | Johannesburg, 27 October 2019

On 27 October 2019, The SuperKids Trust returned to Johannesburg with one clear intention — to create a moment where everything heavy could be set aside, and where children facing life-limiting illness could feel something powerful, immediate, and real. The day unfolded with energy, anticipation, and emotion.

As the supercars arrived and engines came to life, so did something within each child. The experience wasn’t just about speed — it was about sensation. The vibration of the engine, the rush of acceleration, the sound cutting through the air — all of it combined to create a moment that pulled them out of survival mode and into something far more alive.

For the SuperKids, this was more than excitement. It was a reminder of who they are beyond their illness. For a few unforgettable moments, they were not patients or cases — they were fearless, curious, joyful kids, fully immersed in the present.

Families felt it too. The constant pressure they carry softened as they watched their children light up in ways that are often rare during treatment journeys. They left not just with photos or memories, but with something deeper — a renewed sense of connection, strength, and hope.

The Johannesburg event on 27 October 2019 stands as another defining chapter in the SuperKids Trust journey — where community, compassion, and high-impact experiences come together to create something truly unforgettable.
