Catering Coordinator - Adelaide Relay For Life

The Catering Coordinator is the key to offering participants healthy food and drink options throughout Relay For Life. As someone who is aware of the importance of a healthy diet and how to cater for large groups, you will help to coordinate all catering options during the event weekend 1st & 2nd of May 2027.

Cancer Council’s Relay For Life is so much more than a fundraiser, it’s the world’s largest fundraising event that unites communities through our shared vision of a cancer free future.

All about celebrating the courage of local people affected by cancer and spreading hope, this unique event sees teams challenge themselves to take turns to keep a baton moving in a relay-style walk or run overnight to symbolise that cancer never sleeps.

Relay For Life events are a hive of energy, filled with fun, festivities, and strengthening and creating friendships – all powered by passionate members of the community who make up the Event Planning Committee and are ultimately responsible for making the event possible.
