STANFORD STUMBLE

Walk Run Stumble Laugh Celebrate

28 November 2026 | Stanford Hills | 12:00 18:00

COME AS YOU ARE. STUMBLE AS YOU LIKE.

The Stanford Stumble is back but this year, we re doing things a little differently.

This isn t a race.

Everyone is a winner.

There are no finish times to beat.

And nobody is keeping score.

The Stanford Stumble is a fun-filled family day out created to raise funds and awareness for the Butterfly Centre School NPO, a very special school supporting children who think and learn differently and therefore, don t fit comfortably into mainstream education.

The Butterfly Centre relies solely on fundraising and the generosity of its community to continue doing what it does giving children a place where they are understood, supported, celebrated and allowed to learn in a way that works for them.

So come and support an incredible cause while having a ridiculously good time doing it.

THE STUMBLE

Gather your family and friends, put together your most outrageous outfit and take on our 3 km route through the beautiful Stanford Hills farm.

You can:

WALK IT.

RUN IT.

STUMBLE IT.

Or take your sweet time and simply enjoy the day.

Along the route, you ll discover a series of surprise stations. Think of them as your very own Stumble goodie bags you won t know exactly what s waiting for you until you get there.

Expect colour, refreshments, treats, surprises and plenty of opportunities to stop, laugh and make memories along the way.

And remember

It s not about how quickly you get there. It s about enjoying the journey.

BACK ON THE LAWN

Once you ve made your way back to Stanford Hills, the fun continues.

Settle onto the lawn, grab something to eat and drink, let the kids loose and enjoy the afternoon together.

The Butterfly Centre children will be helping to run the kids entertainment area, giving everyone the opportunity to meet some of the wonderful young people at the heart of the cause we re supporting.

We ll also have:

* ??? A Raffle draw

* ?? Live music by Rivertones

* ?? Kids entertainment

* ?? Ridiculous outfits

* ?? Colour and surprises

* ?? Treats and refreshments

* ?? Beautiful Stanford Hills surroundings

* ?? A whole lot of community spirit

There will also be a special word from Jami, owner and founder of the Butterfly Centre, sharing more about the school, its children and why this fundraiser matters so much.

COME FOR THE FUN. STAY FOR THE CAUSE.

The Stanford Stumble isn t about being the fastest, fittest or most competitive person in the room.

It s about bringing people together.

It s about families spending a day outdoors.

It s about dressing up and being a little ridiculous.

It s about laughing with your friends.

It s about celebrating our differences.

And most importantly, it s about helping create a future where every child has a place where they belong.

CELEBRATE EVERYONE. EXACTLY AS THEY ARE.
