The much-anticipated Monster Community Raffle is back in 2024, featuring a $10,000 prize pool.
Manningham-based community groups, schools and sporting clubs are invited to fundraise for their organisations and contribute to the Manningham Community Fund (MCF), which supports the welfare services offered by charitable organisations within Manningham.
Manningham Council has held the annual Monster Community Raffle for 18 years, proudly supported by recent raffle partner, Templestowe Bowling Club.
Manningham Mayor, Councillor Carli Lange, encourages not-for-profit groups to get involved and take the opportunity to fundraise for their community.
“The raffle has helped so many community groups reach their fundraising goals and give back to their members,” Cr Lange said.
“The only cost is the time it takes to sell the tickets. One hundred per cent of the proceeds will be invested back into the community.”
Judy Green from the Warrandyte Community Garden said the raffle helps fund improvements for the 25 year-old garden.
“We’re a small group, however we did manage to sell 40 books last year. We had a lucky year, two of our members won prizes, including the $5,000 gift card.” Judy said.
For every raffle ticket sold for $2.00 each, organisations will receive $1.50. The remaining 50 cents will be donated to the MCF.
Last year, the MCF awarded $19,000 to the Manningham Inclusive Community House Inc. (MICH) for their work with young people with intellectual disability.
The MCF also supported the Chrisalis Foundation Inc. with a $2,400 grant towards their Let’s Move Together Program.
The 2024 Monster Community Raffle closes on Monday 1 July 2024.
Winners will be drawn on Wednesday 17 July 2024 at the Templestowe Bowling Club. The draw will also be live streamed on the Manningham Council Facebook page.
