Dynapumps praises Box Rallies for reaching the remarkable milestone of raising over $50 million for cancer research since its launch in 2010! This funding is pivotal in supporting essential cancer research and delivering benefits to cancer patients across Australia.
Dynapumps once sponsored the team "Under the Pump," which consisted of staff members Tim Simmons and Ken Cornell. They achieved an incredible feat by raising $10,149 for the Cancer Council Australia's Shitbox Rally community-led fundraising motoring event.
James Freeman, the founder and CEO of Box Rallies, is very proud of what the event has accomplished in nearly two decades:
“I am extremely proud of the participants from all our rallies to reach this milestone. $50 million raised in 15 years is extraordinary, knowing the first year we raised $104,000 and now we are raising $9 million annually.
This really shows the growth and support Box Rallies, and the teams have been given by the wider community. The funds are having a direct impact on living with and fighting cancer and our partnership with Cancer Council has made it possible to fund so many outstanding national researchers.”
Since partnering with the Cancer Council, Box Rallies has funded 63 research projects across various cancer types at leading institutions throughout Australia. In 2024 and beyond, Box Rallies aims to continue funding the best cancer research while also connecting our community with both the research and the researchers themselves.
After our amazing experience raising $10,000 for the event last April, the 'Under the Pump' team is excited to hit the road again for our next fundraising event, Perth to Darwin, in June 2025!
This time, Ken Cornell and his wife, Renee, are determined to raise even more funds and further promote cancer research in Australia.
They need your help to achieve this important goal. Any donation you can provide will be greatly appreciated. These funds will be donated to the Cancer Council, and we are all extremely proud to support such a worthy charity.
