Dawn of the Squat

Dawn of the Squat is back for 2026, this year raising funds for The Sunlight Centre with a $5,000 fundraising goal.

The event takes place on 12 December and includes a squat-only competition, themed merchandise, spectator attendance and opportunities to donate. Lifting begins at 9am, with prizes awarded to the top men’s and women’s DOTS scores.

Thanks to the support of event sponsors, every dollar raised will go directly to The Sunlight Centre.
