Witzer are proud to be sponsoring team Mule Graters in the 4th Shitbox Rally in a row. This year, they are driving their shitbox from Alice Springs to Gold Coast. Shitbox Rally is the largest community lead fundraiser for 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 but most teams raise well above this amount as you can see with the Spring 2025 rally target set at $2,000,000 plus.
