How is the Lavan Legal Charity Challenge team category different to the standard team category?

The Lavan Legal Charity Challenge is an exclusive category for teams who wish to support the Starlight Children’s Foundation by competing for the Lavan Legal Charity Challenge Cup.

The 35 teams who are accepted in the ballot into the Lavan Legal Charity Challenge will receive the following benefits:

·         A separate morning briefing (for two team representatives) including complimentary light breakfast at Lavan Legal;

·         A Lavan Legal Charity Challenge Race Pack for each swimmer including the official 2012 HBF Rottnest Channel Swim towel and backpack;

·         Exclusive invitation for all team members to the VIP function (held from 2pm - 5pm) at Hotel Rottnest;

·         A donation made on your team's behalf to the Starlight Children’s Foundation;

·         A framed photograph of your team at the finish line.

In 2010, The Bondi Vet’s Chris Brown along with Deano, Hoppo and Whippet from Channel Ten’s Bondi Rescue won the Lavan Legal Charity Challenge Cup. After missing out on reclaiming their title in the 2011 event, the boys are all back in the 2012 event to have another go at claiming the Lavan Legal Charity Challenge Cup!

The entry fee for this exclusive category is $1,650.

Teams who are unsuccessful in the Lavan Legal Charity Challenge ballot, will be transferred into the standard team category ballot.
