The Land Monkeys: Oliver Hume's Most Successful Fundraising Team

This year Oliver Hume is also supporting an exciting new fundraising initiative in partnership with ResiVentures and Sherridon Homes. The organisations have joined forces to sell two homes this year and one next, with all profits donated to Variety. The Land Monkeys are hoping the proceeds will help them smash their best-ever fundraising year, when they raised $339,000 in 2019.

Oliver Hume Property Group is providing sales and marketing services to help maximise the fundraising outcome. Sherridon Homes is delivering the complete homes, from internal and external construction through to landscaping and driveways.

Nathan Jenkinson, CEO and Managing Director of Victoria's #1 home builder Mirrastone, said Sherridon Homes is delighted to contribute to such a rewarding charity.

"Sherridon is delivering the homes, from the internal finishes through to the external works. We wanted to make a meaningful contribution that supports Variety's incredible work and helps maximise the impact of this campaign," Mr Jenkinson said.

Oliver Hume's Gerrard Ellis said the collaboration demonstrates what can be achieved when businesses unite behind a shared purpose.

"The property industry has an incredible capacity to make a genuine difference. By working together with Resi Ventures, Sherridon Homes and our wider network, we're creating opportunities to raise significant funds that will have a lasting impact on Victorian children and their families," Mr Ellis said.

"We're proud to support projects that create a genuine impact on our communities. Knowing these homes will help raise vital funds for children and families in need makes this a project our entire team is proud to be part of."

Merv Hughes Joins the Campaign

Australian cricket legend Merv Hughes is the face of the campaign, lending his profile to help raise awareness of the ResiVentures and Sherridon Homes fundraiser.

Why Oliver Hume Supports the Variety Victoria Bash

Variety Victoria Bash is one of Australia's most iconic charity motoring events, bringing together participants from across the state to raise vital funds for children experiencing disadvantage, disability and illness. Variety operates in more than 40 countries worldwide, delivering life-changing equipment, programs and support to children and families in need.

For Oliver Hume, backing the Land Monkeys is part of a broader commitment to community: the business supports more than 15 charity partnerships each year.

About the Variety Victoria Bash

The Variety Bash is Australia's longest-running charity motoring event. Entrants drive a convoy of 25-year-old-plus, creatively themed cars through outback tracks, rugged bush and remote communities, stopping in local schools and towns along the way to hand over the grants and equipment their fundraising has paid for.
