BIG W is hosting Australia’s first ever unique charity event, the BIG Wrapathon, helping Aussie families with their Christmas gift wrapping needs while supporting programs for seriously ill children.

The nationwide event will take place across all BIG W stores and will involve celebrity and community volunteers, alongside BIG W team members wrapping gifts at the front of stores from 10am – 4pm. Tennis star Lleyton Hewitt, popular children’s entertainers DJ Lenny Pearce will also be among those at BIG W Eastgardens and Emma Memma (Watkins) will be at BIG W Karrinyup.

Ambassadors and team will also attempt to break the Guinness World Record in BIG W Eastgardens for the Fastest Time to Gift-wrap a Box, currently held at 30 seconds.

The event celebrates the launch of BIG W’s charity wrapping paper, a new range of festive gift wrap designed with children who have been supported by BIG W’s national hospital network. The colourful wrap features the children’s heartfelt artwork and customers can purchase in store and online for $5, with all proceeds going back to Children’s Hospital Foundations and Research Institutes across the country.
