RAFFLE OPPORTUNITIES FOR CLUBS

Changes to laws have made conducting a public raffle very difficult.

The Rotary Club of Rossmoyne has developed a Raffle strategy which meets all the necessary legal requirements

We can provide Books of tickets to organisations to sell at no upfront cost.

Raffle Tickets are in Books of 25 and are sold at $2.00 each.

Of the tickets sold, $1 is returned to the organisation and $1 retained by Rotary.

Recent groups raising funds like this include hockey clubs, primary school P & Cs, other sports clubs, and other Rotary Clubs.

There are no management fees deducted.

The raffle is being run again next year (2015) from June to October.
