We are excited to announce that we’re taking part in Lunchbox Rally 2024! Lunchbox Rally is the newest fundraising project by the people who do Sh*tbox Rally and Mystery Box Rally, these projects have raised over $42 million for Cancer Council in the last 14 years!
Our Story …
We are back again, and this time THE KIDS ARE COMING!! 2024 we head off on the very first lunchbox rally!! The rally will see us take off for 4 days from Hay NSW September 27th - 1st October.
The Wombat will be honouring our family and friends as we head off on our Cancer Fighting Crusade. Cancer has hit our family closer than ever. This year we will be rallying in honour once again for our beloved friend Wendy but this year we are honouring our great mate Tull who lost his battle in April last year and our beautiful mum (Nan) Shirl who has kicked cancers ass!!
Shitbox Rally is the largest community lead fundraiser for the Cancer Council in Australia and is now in its 14th 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 2023 Spring rally target set at $2,000,000 plus.
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. We at team Wombat have first hand seen how the Shitbox Rally directly is improving cancer research and treatments, and our beautiful friend Kelly is a testament to this. Kelly received treatment for bowel cancer that was enabled by researchers directly funded by the Shitbox Rally. Andddddd she subsequently KICKED CANCERS ASS!
So please give what you can and support our cancer fighting super hero The Wombat
Part of the participation is that all teams need to raise $3,000. These funds go to Cancer Council and we are proud to be doing our part to support such a worthy charity. The fundraising is the hard part so we would very much appreciate it if you could donate to the cause and help us on our journey!
Lunchbox Rally is not a race – it’s a fun adventure. Each night will be spent camping beneath the stars and celebrating the days achievements. It’s an incredible opportunity to see some of Australia’s vast and beautiful countryside and make new friends!
Lunchbox Rally 2024 will see teams set off from Hay and return to Hay 4 days later! Each night we will be stopping in remote outback locations to enjoy bush hospitality at its finest and be making memories that will last a life time.
Lunch Box 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 Lunch Box 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.
