Community raffle well under way

Raffle books are selling fast for the 2025-'26 Rotary Club of Appin Park Wangaratta community raffle.

The annual raffle supports local groups and businesses, with all funds raised going back into the community.

It offers a number of ways for local clubs to raise much-needed funds.

Tickets could be sold at club-run events, or distributed among members for them to sell before 15 December.

Clubs raise $3 per ticket in a handy fundraiser which is quicker and easier than a raffle which clubs need to organise themselves.

The raffle has a prize pool of $33,350.

First prize is a Hyundai Venue from Wangaratta Motor Group, with other prizes including a travel and accommodation package from Travel and Cruise, air conditioning unit from JCS Industries, A1 Tyrepower voucher, tool package voucher from WBAIS and electrical package from Harvey Norman.

Local groups interested in selling raffle books are invited to contact the Rotary Club of Appin Park Wangaratta at rcapw.communityraffle@gmail.com or 0419 533 898.
