Na Koa Regatta

In August 2026, the Zero79 Foundation will compete in the Na Koa Wounded Warrior Regatta on Waikiki Beach, Hawaii. This year, we are proud to field three teams representing our Combat Veterans, Wounded Warriors, and Gold Star Families.

The Regatta is far more than just a rowing competition. For our community, it is an opportunity to gather, reflect and honour those whose lives have been affected by service as an Australian Commando.

Zero79 Foundation Brisbane Comedy & Konnect Event
2026-05-08 18:30 - 23:00 (Australia/Sydney) | Kedron-Wavell RSL, 21 Kittyhawk Drive, Chermside, QLD, 4032, Australia
Zero79 Foundation’s Comedy & Konnect is a night built on connection, camaraderie and a good dose of laughter. Headlined by acclaimed Australian comedian Lehmo, the evening blends world-class comedy with a deeper purpose.
Konnect exists to bring together the commando community; current and former serving operators, along with their families, in an environment that feels familiar, supportive and strong. It’s about maintaining the bonds forged in service, strengthening community ties, and creating space to reconnect outside the operational environment.
Comedy breaks down barriers. Connection builds resilience. Together, they reinforce what matters most – mateship, family, and standing shoulder-to-shoulder long after the uniform comes off.
Date: Friday 8 May 2026 6:30 PM – 11:00 PM
Location: Kedron-Wavell RSL, 21 Kittyhawk Drive, Chermside QLD 4032
