This year marks 10 years of Casali’s efforts to raise money and awareness, celebrate inclusion, and support those living with Down Syndrome.

Supporters of the cause will do a drive from the Daintree to the Lion’s Den Hotel north of Rossville. This year’s drive will be held from 4-5 October.

“What began as a small community gathering has grown into a heartfelt tradition, bringing together friends, families, and supporters from near and far,” store owner Alex Arena said.

“Each year, we ride not just for fun, but for a cause that is close to our hearts promoting understanding, acceptance, and celebrating the incredible individuals in our lives.”

The prize on offer is a Kubota RTV-XG850SL valued at over $36,000, which was supplied by Casali’s and Kubota Australia. Tickets are $100 each and there are a limited number available. The winning ticket will be drawn on 29 September.

Tickets can be purchased from Casali’s Mareeba, located at 51 Rankin Street, or by calling 4092 3841.
