Four Palmwoods sports clubs were lucky enough to receive donations from mutual sponsor Palmwoods Hotel recently.

It was all thanks to Ross Dale who runs raffles every Sunday at Palmwoods Hotel on behalf of the key clubs that the Palmwoods Hotel sponsors.

Also included on the list is Ross’s favourite charity “Wish List” and patrons look forward to seeing his friendly smile each week. 

At the end of financial year Ross’s raffle takings are distributed with 20 percent going to to Nambour & Hinterland AFL Club, Palmwoods Junior Rugby League Club and Palmwoods Cricket Club. 

A further 10 percent goes to Palmwoods Warriors Football Club while Wish List receives 30 percent.

“Ross raised $11,750 this year,” said Tania Skerman from Palmwoods Warriors Football Club. 

“Ross has been involved in community sport and loves raising money to assist local volunteer organisations. 

“He understands community-run clubs rely heavily on fundraising and grants to continue to provide affordable sport to our local community. 

“The Palmwoods Hotel, along with Ross and the ticket-buying patrons’ support and generosity makes a significant impact to our organisations. On behalf of all the recipient clubs we want to thank Ross for his efforts, the patrons for buying the tickets and our sponsor Palmwoods Hotel.”
