My Room is a volunteer led organisation, working together to support patients and families affected by cancer, without the bureaucracy. My Room has raised more than $22 million to improve the quality of life for patients and families affected by childhood cancer. We rely on the generosity of our donors to fund support for families, medical equipment, clinical care and research trials. We're committed to raising funds ethically and in a cost effective manner.We hold a deductible gift recipient status, and are registered with the Australian Charities and Not-for-profits Commission. We're proud to say we keep our administration costs low, and combined with our efficient fundraising methods, we administer a greater proportion of donations directly to the projects it funds. My Room has a full-time executive and is provided offices, administration and financial management services pro-bono by Pitcher Partners.My Room won't stop until there's a 100% cure rate for childhood cancers. Until then, we will continue supporting patients and families during their treatment journey and into their future.FOUNDING FAMILIES: ONE UNITED VOICEMy Room was founded in 1992 by three families: The Marcoccis, The McGraths and The Rathbones. These families were personally touched by childhood cancer, and came together with the humble goal of raising enough money to renovate the rooms of the cancer ward of The Royal Children's Hospital (RCH). They achieved that goal, and many more followed.A PASSIONATE COMMITTEEMy Room consists of a volunteer committee made up of a dedicated group of networked business individuals. Together with one full time executive, a large team of dedicated volunteers, pro bono and supportive suppliers and loyal corporate partners we're committed to raising funds ethically and cost-effectively.
