A Greenvale home will go under the hammer next month to raise money for a children’s cancer charity.
Developer Satterley and builder Porter Davis have donated a house and land package which will be put on the block on Saturday, December 10 for the Hume for a Cure 2022 charity auction, raising money for My Room Children’s Charity.
The single-storey, four-bedroom Porter Davis home includes $255,000 worth of upgrades and inclusions, and the auction winner will enjoy their very own basketball court.
Satterley Victoria and Queensland general manager Jack Hoffmann said the auction would be the developer’s fifth in partnership with My Room.
“It’s always important to think about how we can give back to the community, and to consider those less fortunate than ourselves, so we love being part of the Home for a Cure. And given that this year’s event will take place so close to Christmas, it’s particularly special,” he said.
Porter Davis sales and marketing executive general manager said the company had “jumped at the opportunity” to be part of the auction for a second time.
“It’s hugely inspiring that My Room, an organisation which started with a group of parents who were looking to raise money to renovate the rooms on a cancer ward, has today raised over $27 million dollars,” he said.
“Those funds have been instrumental in improving the quality of life for patients with childhood cancer.”
My Room’s chief executive Margaret Zita said the funds raised from this year’s Home For A Cure are vital in supporting children battling cancer and their families as they navigate their way through this horrible disease.
“The proceeds from the home auction would go towards supporting the charity’s four funding pillars: family support, medical equipment, clinical care, and research,” she said.
An open house event will be held on Sunday, December 4 from 11am at 13 Topographical Crescent, Greenvale, with face painting and the chance to meet My Room AFL ambassadors Andrew McGrath and Jack Zeibell. The auction will be on December 10am at 11am.
