A date has been set for a charity auction that aims to raise funds to support kids with cancer.
The 2021 Home for a Cure charity auction for My Room, will take place on Thursday 14 October at 5pm.
Satterley and Porter Davis Homes will donate a house and land package to the auction, with the funds raised going to My Room.
The single-storey, four-bedroom Porter Davis home is being built in Satterley’s Arcadia community, in the heart of Officer.
Proceeds from the house and land package will be donated during Channel 9’s popular My Room Telethon later this year.
My Room has a goal of reaching a 100 per cent cure rate for childhood cancers.
Jack Homann, Satterley’s general manager of Victoria and Queensland said he was proud Satterley would be a central part of the auction for the fourth time.
“It goes without saying that the most important part is that we’re raising funds for an incredibly important cause,” he said.
Shaun Patterson, general manager sales and marketing at Porter Davis said the company was thrilled to be part of the auction.
“Being able to lend a helping hand to kids who need it most, while building a quality home in which someone can create a lifetime of cherished memories, made our decision to support this year’s Home for a Cure an easy one.”
The home will include almost $100,000 worth of upgrades and inclusions including high-quality fixtures, fittings and appliances from Porter Davis Homes.
Adriatic Furniture has donated $42,000 worth of home furnishings, Fleming’s has donated $15,000 worth of landscaping, Bunnings will provide $5000 worth of outdoor furnishings and Salt and Pepper will offer $5000 worth of homewares.
The successful bidder will also receive a 12-month subscription to The Age and a 24-month subscription to Stan.
My Room’s chairman Maurizio Marcocci said the proceeds from the home auction would go towards supporting the organisation’s four funding pillars: family support, medical equipment, clinical care, research and clinical trials.
“It’s only with meaningful donations from our major partnerships like Porter Davis Homes, Satterley and Nine, that we can make a greater impact to funding research and clinical trials that could lead us to our goal of a 100 per cent cure rate,” Mr Marcocci said.
