Each year Girls on Top selects one team from hundreds of Australian women who apply to join us on an adventure of a lifetime. Our high altitude fundraising expeditions introduce women with passion, vision and a willingness to make a difference in the world to people and places on the planet that support the spirit of adventure and the ethic of contribution.
Before our team heads into the real hills, each member climbs a ‘mountain’ of her own, here at home, creating interest and support from thousands of men and women, businesses and media by hosting an event or creating a plan to raise at least $3,000 - ALL of which supports an existing organisation working to protect wilderness, wildlife and human communities in the world’s remote corners. Women on our teams have created fashion parades, art exhibitions, cookie drives, bowling events, a yoga retreat, casino night, dolphin show, film screenings and handmade card business to provide funds for Girls on Top's charity partners.
Since our first climb, Kilimanjaro, in 2004, Girls on Top expeditions have raised $100,000 toward projects supporting human life and biodiversity in Africa, the Amazon and Himalaya. Our legacy is carried across all Australian states, five nations, a dozen supporting businesses and hundreds of people in Australia and overseas who have been touched, moved or motivated by what ordinary people can do with extraordinary goals.
