ABOUT
In the true Australian spirit of helping out little Aussie battlers, The Biggest Aussie Pie Night celebrates the Australian meat pie tradition, while also helping support children and families living with cancer.
In 2022 the smell of warm pies will once again be riding the cool winter air as we gear up for another Biggest Aussie Pie Night. You can all remember as a child, how much a hot pie would warm your spirits on the coldest of days at the MCG, even if your team was down by 10 goals! Just like a hot meat pie, Challenge is working hard everyday to warm the spirits of thousands of little Aussie battlers living with cancer and their families.
The Biggest Aussie Pie Night will be a fun day or night that gives everyone in Australia an excuse to bring back fond memories or indulge in the traditional Aussie Pie or pie of their choice!
It is our mission to make The Biggest Aussie Pie Night Australia’s favourite charity day and eventually become Australian vernacular!
AFL Support
For 30 years Challenge has been working with AFL players through various initiatives to brighten the lives of children living with cancer.
Making AFL history, 13 of the AFL's biggest names (Billy Brownless, Luke Darcy, Jason Dunstall, Brendan Fevola, Danny Frawley, Brad Johnson, Paul Licuria, Cameron Ling, Gary Lyon, Brian Taylor, Tim Watson, Nathan Buckley and Robert DiPierdomenico) have got on board to help Challenge raise money through the Biggest Aussie Pie Night!

“Challenge is a wonderful organisation and I’m very fortunate to have played some small role in the work they do for such a long time. Even before my sister, Kylie, was diagnosed with breast cancer, I have been aware of the impact an illness can have on the family unit. It brings me great joy to see these children smile through adversity and I am delighted to be able to give back and be a part of the Challenge family.”
