Businesses donate. Rotary raffles. Youths benefit!

First Prize is a wheelbarrow full of Christmas Goodies valued at over $1500 but the real gift is the gift of giving to the youth of Nambour.

Again this year, the Rotary Club of Nambour are raffling a wheelbarrow full of Christmas Goodies to raise funds for Rotary youth programs that better prepare young people for safe and happy lives.

The raffle will help fund initiatives including: driver awareness to reduce devastating youth road trauma and deaths; drug and alcohol danger awareness; equine therapy for vulnerable young people; and programs specifically for disadvantaged youth to give them hope for a better future.

Businesses have generously donated vouchers and goods for the raffle, topped up with Christmas goodies. The first prize is an overflowing wheelbarrow containing a wide variety of goods valued at well over $1,500.

Second prize is a one hour scenic Flight over the Sunshine coast with champagne and a hamper of treats valued at over $700. Third prize consists of a range of sporting and outdoor goods and Christmas goodies valued at well over $400.

The $2 tickets will be sold at Lowe Street Nambour from 23 November through to 24 December when the raffle will be drawn and prize delivered to the lucky winners.

Nambour Christmas Raffle ticket seller Garth Jacobson said Nambour’s generous business community deserved praise. 

“Every prize was donated by local businesses. This is after they’ve been doing it tough all year,” he said. 

Rotary members are selling tickets in Lowe Street right up until December 24.

In a difficult year for us all, this is the first time the Rotary Club has been able to raise funds to support our local community.
