Our Story …

Previously we took part in a Shitbox Rally. It was an incredible experience, but what we are most pleased with is what we raised for cancer research.

Our contribution is not over and we want to continue the fight against cancer by continuing our fundraising efforts. We are really pleased to announce we have signed up to Second Shot Shitbox! Second shot is just that, a way for past rally teams to get back into the rally, but most importantly for us to continue fundraising.

The top 5 fundraising teams get a guaranteed spot back in the rally and yes, that is certainly our objective so all donations are greatly appreciated. The donations go straight to the Cancer Council but the amounts are noted against our team.

If we don’t make the top 5 and don’t get into the current Shitbox the funds raised will still help us get into the following year and all funds still go directly to the Cancer Council.

Shitbox Rally is the largest community lead fundraiser for the Cancer Council in Australia and is now celebrating its 10th year. Part of the participation is that all teams have to raise a minimum of $5,000 but most teams raise well above this amount as you can see with the $2m target set for this year. These funds go to the Cancer Council and we are extremely proud to be doing our part to support such a worthy charity. The fundraising is the hard part, so any donation you can give is greatly appreciated. Please make sure to follow our progress via this page and the blog post below.

Here's what I'm doing …

Shitbox Rally is the adventure of a lifetime challenging participants and their cars, worth no more than $1,500, on a 7 day drive across Australia to raise money for cancer research.

The rally is not a race – it’s a fun, colourful, unpredictable adventure with participants travelling at their own pace in smaller groups. Vehicles often break down but “we never leave anyone behind” and each night is spent camping beneath the stars and celebrating the day’s achievements. It all adds up to an incredible opportunity to see Australia’s vast and beautiful countryside and make lifelong friends, many brought together after experiencing cancer themselves or seeing cancer impact family and friends.

Since it’s inception the rally has been the largest fundraiser for the Cancer Council nationally.

The Impact, Outcomes & Charity

Shitbox Rally is a dedicated fundraising event for cancer research with funds going to Cancer Council.

Cancer Council is one of the largest non-government funders of cancer research in Australia. We conduct and fund research studies across all cancers and all stages of the cancer journey.

Thanks to the community funds raised such as Shitbox Rally we can fund world-class research that reduces the impact of cancer for everyone.

$41 million over the past 13 years has been raised by Box Rallies to date, supporting ground-breaking projects such as:

  • A research study to develop a vaccine that protects against lymphoma cancers.
  • A research trial to standardise international guidelines on melanoma removal.
  • A research grant to revolutionise the treatment of pancreatic cancer.

These projects wouldn’t be possible without your support.
