Rally for a Cause raises millions locally for vulnerable

THE 2025 Fraser Coast Dunga Derby has reached a major milestone, raising more than $5 million since the charity’s inception and supporting over 400 families in need.

Organised by Rally for a Cause, the annual event provides vital assistance to local families facing life-limiting medical conditions, ensuring help is available during some of the most challenging times of their lives.

This year, 55 teams embarked on the four-day journey across the Fraser Coast, driving uniquely decorated vehicles known as “Dungas.”

Along the way, participants took part in a variety of fundraising activities including raffles, gala dinners, and community BBQs.

The funds raised remain within the Fraser Coast region, providing both practical and financial support to families navigating difficult circumstances.

Fraser Coast residents, sponsors, and supporters have played a crucial role in the event’s success. Rally for a Cause representatives expressed their gratitude, highlighting that the achievements of the Dunga Derby would not be possible without the collaboration of the community and the tireless efforts of the teams involved.

A key highlight of this year’s event was the release of the 2025 “Dunga Dusted” video. The video celebrates the journey of the participants, showcasing their commitment and camaraderie while emphasising the direct impact of the charity’s work on local families.

It also serves as a tribute to the sponsors, supporters, and community members whose generosity continues to make the event possible.

Since its inception, the Fraser Coast Dunga Derby has grown into one of the region’s most anticipated charity events.

Its success demonstrates the power of community spirit and collaboration in creating meaningful change.

By raising both funds and awareness, the event strengthens local support networks and provides a platform for families to access essential assistance when they need it most.

Rally for a Cause organisers said they are proud of what the Dunga Derby has achieved and remain committed to supporting families in the Fraser Coast region.

With the continued support of the community, sponsors, and participants, they look forward to building on this milestone in future events, ensuring that even more families receive the help they need.
