Road Boss Jamie Lawson has been organising charity car rallies for over twenty years and is passionate about every aspect of how a Charity Car Rally works, and that is, every one must be a winner. We are the best in the business when it comes to entertaining people out in the bush, organising and running a charity rally through amazing places and the masters at making people feel at ease and ready to generously donate to a worthy and needy cause.
Over twenty million dollars has been directly funnelled into charities, community groups and not for profit organisations as a direct result of the rallies that Road Boss Jamie Lawson has organised since he hit the road back in 1995.
The major fundraising aspect of the Road Boss Rally will come from a per vehicle compulsory donation to the events charity of choice. Entrants will certainly be encouraged and hopefully motivated to raise over and above the minimum pledge, however no one will feel obliged or obligated. As well as that, all funds from any fundraising activities that are conducted during the event (auctions, donations etc...) will also go directly to the events nominated Charity.
The per vehicle entry fee that each crew will pay to enter into the event is set so as to cover all expenses and outgoing cost's relating to the organisation, planning, mapping and running of the event. Any net profits from the event will also be donated to the charity of choice.
Charity Motoring events are nothing new and there are many very well respected and high profile events around Australia doing great work. While the Road Boss Rally probably wont boast the massive dollar amounts as announced by some of the better known events, what we do raise and donate will be real money, going directly to help those who need it most. No smoke and mirrors or false trumpet blowing, just real people, raising real money for a real good cause.
In 2016 we handed over a massive cheque to GIVIT for $250 000!
Our charity of choice for 2016 and hopfully beyond is GIVIT.
GIVIT is a national not-for-profit connecting those who have with those who need, in a private and safe way. GIVIT’s vision is to ensure quality goods get to where they are needed most by safely connecting and inspiring an online network of givers. Through GIVIT’s website, more than 1,000 trusted Australian charities are supported as quality urgently needed items are sourced direct from the public. Since it was established in 2009, more than 200,000 urgent requests for goods and services from these charities have been matched with the resources of community and corporate donors.
GIVIT makes giving easy via its free online giving portal www.givit.org.au, enabling everyday Australians to see exactly what items are required by vulnerable members of their local community. Somewhere in Australia, there is a pair of unwanted work boots which could help a father secure work to support his family, a reliable washing machine that will allow a single mother the time to apply for work instead of washing clothes by hand and a bed which could provide someone the chance to live in their own home.
GIVIT works to alleviate poverty in Australia by ensuring every charity has what it needs through the simple act of giving. There are currently more than 2.5 million people living below the Australian poverty line (Australian Council of Social Service Poverty Report 2014).
GIVIT makes it easier for charities to empower their clients and improve quality of life by obtaining the items they require, online and at no cost. A registered not-for-profit, GIVIT is a FREE service available to all agencies, services and charities in Australia working directly with impoverished, marginalised and vulnerable people. The unique virtual warehouse eliminates the need for charities and government agencies to store, sort and dispose of unwanted items, saving valuable time and resources. There are no unsolicited donations or warehousing requirements, which can present a major administrative and financial burden.
Above all, GIVIT aims to preserve the dignity and promote the well-being of GIVIT recipients. GIVIT strictly adheres to a Privacy Policy, and ensures the anonymity of the recipients is preserved.
