Our Story …

Hi, we're Tony and Jess - a dad and daughter duo taking part in our first Shitbox Rally. We'll be driving our Ssangyong Chairman from Rockhampton to Hobart in the Summer 2023 rally. We are a combined Whitsundays/Kangaroo Valley team and whilst we live 2000km apart normally, it doesn't dampen our team spirit.


We want you to be part of our team spirit and dedicate a paw print on Chairman Meow to someone you care about - every donation will be allocated a paw print and a message of your choice. We'll decorate our car with all the paw prints, and if you buy one in person, you can even stick it on Chairman Meow!


Paw prints:


$250 = Extra large paw print (20x20cm)

$100 = Large paw print (15x15cm)

$50 = Medium paw print (10x10cm)

$25 = Small paw print (7x7cm)


We know how cancer can affect the lives of those who are diagnosed, and their families and friends. We hope to fundraise to save others from going through this.


Shitbox Rally is the largest community lead fundraiser for the Cancer Council in Australia and is now in its 13th 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 Summer 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, the donation blog below and on Facebook at https://www.facebook.com/Chairman-Meow-Shitbox-Rally-Summer-2023-107193925346645/

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.
