Our Heroes

Variety has a wide network of ambassadors, long-term corporate and community partners, individual supporters, members and volunteers.

Each year these Superstars, Star Partners and Superheroes help us to bring the Variety feel-good factor into the lives of thousands of New Zealand children.

Without them we could not as easily fulfil our mission - they are our Heroes!

But above all, there are the Whizz Kids we support - all heroes in their own right. Check out some of the amazing stories of Kiwi kids who are now reaching their potential thanks to the generous support of everyone involved with Variety!

Simon Dallow - Helping Put Smiles On Kid's Faces

Well-known journalist and ONE News anchor Simon Dallow came on his first Variety Bash in 1995 and he's been involved with Variety - The Children's Charity since, most recently accepting the role of Variety Vice Patron.

Kiwi actress Antonia Prebble never expected a phone call asking her to cycle through Vietnam, but when the chance came to be part of Variety's Vietnam Cycle Trek raising funds for mobility equipment for children affected by the earthquake in Christchurch, she grabbed the opportunity and rose to the challenge.
