About Camp 4 Cancer

These days it is hard not to come across someone that has either been directly or indirectly affected by cancer.  We all know ‘someone’ or we are that ‘someone’.  For anyone that has lived with it, through it or has beaten it, the process and roller coaster of emotions affects not just one person.

Raising funds for cancer research

Camp4Cancer is a charity formed and run by a group of close friends and volunteers with its sole purpose to raise much needed funds for cancer research, in particular the Peter MacCallum Cancer Centre and other research branches to find cures and preventatives for cancer.

Our aim and purpose is to bring people together from all walks of life for a weekend’s full of camping and life experiences.

We also manage other events such as comedy days, fun runs, golf days and many more fundraising activities.

A weekend festival

Since 2015 this camping event has the feel of a weekend festival with live bands, food stalls, merchandise, camp fires, memorial and candle ceremony, loads of activities to keep the kids entertained, raffles, auctions, guest speakers, traditional Aboriginal ceremonies, laughs and tears.

Where do the funds raised go?

Thanks to your generous support and the participation of thousands of families who have camped out at our events, Camp4Cancer has donated over $480,000 to charity with most of this going to the Peter Mac Cancer Foundation. Camp4Cancer is proud to say that 100% of funds raised gets donated and we are a fully registered Charity.

The Founder Ben Roarty 

Camp-4--cancer

About Ben The Founder

Camp4Cancer was originally founded and developed by Ben Roarty after losing both his parents to Cancer over a short time. His passion to create an event that was close to his heart has now lead to an event which has grown every year and touched the heart of many families. 

Having always helped out with many charities for many causes, Ben and his friends and family decided to start Camp4Cancer.

Ben wanted to create an event where he could contribute any way he could to conquering cancer and has made it a lifelong goal to make a difference. With a great love of the outdoors he came up with a crazy idea to bring people together camping to raise funds for cancer research.

Ben knew that one person can make a difference, BUT not without the help and voices of the masses and after pulling in a few friends and family members in, Camp4Cancer came to life. 

Ben has been fortunate to tour the incredible facilities of Peter Mac and meeting some of the incredible Scientists working tirelessly to find cures for this dreaded disease, Ben and his committee are satisfied in know all their hard work and 100% of the funds raised go to the charities supported.

Finally, the satisfaction of knowing the battle against cancer is making progress which makes Ben and his dedicated committee proud of Camp4Cancer that they created.
