Each year, the Royal Adelaide Show donates over $400,000 worth of tickets to charity groups, including Northern Foster Care, Indigenous Youth Mobility Pathways Project, Catherine House, Canteen SA/NT and Brain Injury SA. Each year, the Society also donates 9,000 tickets to every new South Australian citizen to the Royal Adelaide Show as an opportunity to experience one of the state’s most iconic community events. Since 2014, thousands of new citizens have enjoyed this special welcome.
