For generations, the Chevrolet Corvette has represented the thrill of pure performance – long bonnet, big power, and unmistakable presence.

Now, the iconic American sports car is at the centre of a fundraising initiative aiming to deliver something even more powerful: hope.

The newly launched Corvette for Cancer raffle is giving Australian enthusiasts the chance to win a Corvette while helping raise funds to support cancer patients undergoing treatment regional Victoria.
Hosted by Bendigo Health Foundation, the initiative was designed to tap into the passion of Australia’s car community and channel it into something meaningful. Director of Fundraising at the Bendigo Health Foundation, Shaun Spence, stated that this is a unique opportunity to own a special vehicle, and help change, or save lives.

“Cars like the Corvette have always had the ability to bring people together,” Spence says. “We wanted to harness that excitement and turn it into something that could genuinely help people going through cancer treatment.”

While the raffle has its roots in regional Victoria, organisers hope the campaign resonates nationally with Australia’s strong enthusiast culture. The Corvette – one of the most recognisable performance cars ever built – sits at the centre of the campaign as both the headline prize and a symbol of the initiative itself.
For Andy Hoare of Yellow Iron Fleet, who donated the Corvette and other prizes, supporting the initiative was an easy decision.

“I was inspired to find a way that I could amplify potential impact by giving the community an opportunity to win great prizes and, more importantly, help local cancer patients,” Hoare says. “I’m proud that 100 per cent of proceeds will support cancer patients in Regional Victoria.”

Cancer remains one of Australia’s most significant health challenges, affecting hundreds of thousands of families every year.

Initiatives like Corvette for Cancer aim to provide practical support for patients and families navigating treatment, recovery and the many challenges that come with a cancer diagnosis.

Proceeds from the Corvette for Cancer raffle will be utilised to fund equipment, research, programs and other initiatives to support cancer patients.

With only 15,000 tickets available, participants will have the opportunity to win a Corvette valued at $236,000 as well as over $50,000 worth of gold and a $35,000 Hamilton Island holiday.

For Spence, the goal is simple: combine excitement with impact. “Almost every Australian family
has been touched by cancer,” he says. “If the car community can rally around something like this, we have the opportunity to make a real difference.”

Tickets for the Corvette for Cancer raffle are now available nationally.
