7th Annual Ride for Jack
A heartfelt thank you to everyone who joined us for the 7th Annual Ride for Jack on Sunday 26th July 2026.
It was a wonderful day of community, remembrance, and support as riders, families, friends, and supporters came together to honour Jack Beasley and help raise awareness of the important work of the Jack Beasley Foundation.
From Helensvale Hornets JRLFC through to Walton Hotel, Veresdale, and finishing at The Beechmont Hotel, the day was a fantastic reminder of the strength of our community and our shared commitment to educating young people about knife violence.
To everyone who rode, volunteered, donated, sponsored, or simply came along to show their support—thank you. Your contribution helps the Foundation continue its vital work and keeps Jack’s legacy alive.

Horsepower Legends Lunch – 27 February 2026
Held before a packed house of supporters, business leaders and community advocates, the event brought together an outstanding lineup of guest presenters who shared stories of resilience, leadership and the importance of stepping up for the next generation. Each speaker reinforced the core message of the Foundation: that prevention, accountability and strong community values save lives.
Guests enjoyed premium hospitality while actively participating in live auctions, raffles and fundraising initiatives that generated vital financial support for the Foundation’s ongoing knife crime education programs and legislative advocacy work.
Most importantly, the event raised significant funds that will directly support the delivery of the One Moment Education Program in schools and sporting clubs across Australia, helping equip young people with the awareness and confidence to make safer choices.
The continued growth of the Legends Lunch reflects the strength of community backing behind the Jack Beasley Foundation. Every table filled, every bid placed and every ticket purchased contributes to a safer future.
Thank you to our sponsors, presenters and attendees for standing with us. Together, we are turning awareness into action.
Walk4Jack – Honouring Jack, Strengthening Our Community
The 4km walk honours Jack’s life while reinforcing a clear message about the importance of education, stronger laws and safer public spaces. It provides an opportunity for families, schools and local organisations to stand united in support of prevention.
The day also includes family friendly activities that reflect Jack’s positive and energetic spirit.
By walking together, we continue Jack’s legacy and strengthen our commitment to protecting young people across the Gold Coast.
Ride4Jack – Riding for Prevention
The ride begins at Helensvale Hornets, where Jack played football from the age of five and where a field now carries his name. The morning starts with a BBQ breakfast and coffee, bringing riders together before the convoy sets off.
The route, which may vary each year, travels through Canungra, Beaudesert, Veresdale and Jimboomba before returning to create a strong visual presence on local roads.
This is your invite to join the convoy. Whether you are a seasoned rider or just want to support the cause, the Ride4Jack is a day of mateship, remembrance, and advocacy.
Every rider helps us carry Jack’s story further, ensuring that our message of “Safety, Education, and Change” reaches every corner of the community and working toward a future where every young person makes it home safely
