We are really pleased to announce that we're taking part in Shitbox Rally 2025 - Spring!
This year, all the teams are driving their shitboxes (cars worth less than $1500) through the outback of Australia from Alice Springs to Gold Coast.
Shitbox Rally is the largest community lead fundraiser for the Cancer Council in Australia and is now in its 15th year. Part of the participation is that all teams have to raise a minimum of $5,000 however most teams raise well above this amount.
The overall 2025 Spring rally target has been 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.
This year our team name is “The Coffee Snobs”
Life is short, and you only have one chance to do the things that you say “We’ll do that one day...” So once more, the mighty Magna is at it AGAIN!!
It seems most people we talk to have had their lives affected by Cancer, and both our lives have been directly impacted too. Most recently with Lorraine’s mum passing away in 2023 after being diagnosed with pancreatic cancer only 9 months prior. Mum was proud and just as excited that we wanted to take part in the rally, and had even offered her opinion on what car could be a “shitbox”. She knew we were doing it for the greater cause, not just because of her, but to help the many people affected by cancer every day.
So to our family, friends and customers - we'd really appreciate it if you could help us reach our fundraising target this year for the Cancer Council. We pay for our own car and participation costs so all donations go direct to the charity. No amount is too small, as every bit helps us reach the goal.
Hopefully with more money for research, a cure for this disease can be found.
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.
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.
$59 million over the past 15 years has been raised by Box Rallies to date, supporting ground-breaking projects such as:
These projects wouldn’t be possible without your support.
