Kokoda Youth Foundation
Sponsors & Partners
Anaconda
Anaconda are our official equipment partner who have generously supplied all equipment required for our youth programs. From trekking pants for the kids to wear on their bush walks, to sleeping bags for their peak experience, Anaconda have supplied all such equipment to ensure our youth programs remain free of charge for all kids.
TechnologyOne
Technology One are passionate supporters of the Kokoda Youth Foundation and particularly of our youth programs that cater to at risk and disengaged youth such as our On The Right Track program. They have also provided numerous volunteers to man checkpoints at our Kokoda Challenge events while also participating in the 48km course.
Kokoda Spirit
Kokoda Spirit supports KYF by donating a trip to tackle the PNG Kokoda Tack to the Kokoda Challenge team which raises the most funds during the allotted time. Kokoda Spirit guides our KCYP groups along the Sandakan Memorial March for their peak experience in Malaysia.
Together, we are dedicated to keeping the spirit of Kokoda alive for future generations, through initiatives that honour the past, empower the present, and inspire the future. We are proud to have Kokoda Spirit alongside us as we continue to celebrate and preserve the legacy of the Kokoda Track and the indomitable spirit of those who have walked its path.
First Aid Accident & Emergency
Scott Whimpey, Director of First Aid Accident & Emergency, has been involved with The Kokoda Challenge since 2008. He has helped thousands of competitors get to the finish line through his co-ordination of our First Aid services in conjunction with QAS, and also works with The Kokoda Challenge management team to risk assess the event.
Scott is also a four time winner of the Challenge, and has competed in the event twice with the elite Nike Hammer team who have an astonishing winning time of 11:19min for the 96km event.

About
Our People
The Kokoda Youth Foundation is a locally operated charity that has proudly supported Australian young people and their local communities for 20 years. Our experiential youth programs help young people gain physical and mental resilience, confidence, and instill in them Courage, Endurance, Mateship and Sacrifice through the story of the Kokoda Campaign in 1942. These programs are run solely from donations from generous Australians, just like you.
