Tickets to annual fundraiser on sale now
One lucky winner will be $10,000 richer after the Rotary Club of Perth-Andover’s annual cash draw, but everyone in Southern Victoria will benefit from the club’s fundraising activities.
Tickets are now available for the May 14 event. The draw will award $16,000 to lucky ticket holders throughout the evening. The annual cash draw, which will be held at the Perth-Andover Elks Lodge and on the club’s Facebook Live page starting at 7 p.m., is limited to 500 tickets.
Club members Marianne Bell and Cheryl Reed chair this year’s cash draw committee. Bell said club members are eager to sell all 500 tickets to give back to the community.
“Perth-Andover Rotarians depend on the cash draw, and our successful weekly Rotary Bingo fundraisers, to help support our community,” Bell said. “There’s lots of worthy community projects that need assistance. We give the money back into schools, Making a Difference Food Bank and community needs.”
“Proceeds from this year’s cash draw will also help with the ongoing improvements at the Perth-Andover Rotary Park,” Reed said. “Last year we completed the new washroom building. This spring will see the installation of several new log benches and swings. We hope people and groups get out to enjoy our beautiful pavilion and park.”
The cash draw is a reverse raffle, with the last ticket left in the barrel declared the $10,000 winner. Other tickets drawn throughout the evening are eligible for prizes from $100 to $1,000.
In addition to the May 14 draw, ‘early bird’ ticket holders are also eligible for three $1,000 ‘early bird’ prizes drawn May 5 at noon.
Tickets cost $60 and are available from Perth-Andover Rotary members. Residents can message the Perth-Andover Facebook account for more information on ticket purchases or email perth.andover.rotary@gmail.com
