Jackson drive is back again
After being rained out in March, the annual Jackson Hepner Memorial Drive 2025 is now having a second attempt on Saturday, May 31.
With an exciting day of activities for all ages, the drive helps provide a network of support for newly diagnosed cancer patients.
Starting at the Woodford Showgrounds, the event invites participants to arrive anytime after 9:30am for a coffee and a chance to mingle before the official rollout at 11:15am.
Entry is $10, with all proceeds going directly to the Jackson Hepner Foundation.
The convoy will make its way through the stunning countryside of Mount Kilcoy and Kilcoy, before arriving at Archer Falls Airfield by 12pm.
Once at Archer Falls Airfield, attendees can look forward to a full day of entertainment, camaraderie, and fundraising efforts.
Visitors will be able to enjoy a thrilling afternoon of food stalls, pig races, a licensed bar, live music by Rob Black and Tate Cole, and a charity fundraising auction and raffles.
The memorial drive is open to all road registered vehicles, from trucks and classic cars to motorbikes and family sedans.
The Jackson Hepner Foundation was created to honour Jackson Hepner, a cherished son, brother, and friend whose legacy continues to inspire kindness and generosity.
The aim of the foundation is to bridge that gap, not only honouring Jackson’s memory but offering support too newly diagnosed cancer patients.
“Jackson was someone who always believed in lifting others up, even when he was fighting his own battle,” his mother Rachael said.
“This foundation carries on his mission—to make sure that no one facing cancer has to go through it alone. The support we’ve received from the community so far has been incredible, and we know this event will be another beautiful tribute to him while also making a real difference.”
