Katie Rose Cottage Hospice has launched their first car lottery, set to raise much needed funds for the not-for-profit charity following a lack of fundraising events due to Covid-19.
Someone will be the very lucky winner of a new VW Polo, with thanks to their lottery partner, Cricks VW Maroochydore.
Chairperson for KRCH Carol Raye said the lottery should help raise awareness of the invaluable service they provide to the Sunshine Coast community.
“This, our very first, car lottery will raise much needed funds for our Hospice following fundraising losses last year due to Covid-19,“ she said.
“We look forward to seeing our supporters at Noosa Civic Shopping Centre, where the car will be on display and tickets can be purchased in the week commencing Monday 8 February.“
The hospice has been operating 24/7 for two years, in which time they have cared for over 130 guests and supported their families at no cost.
“As an accredited, not-for-profit charity we pride ourselves on providing end-of-life care to those most vulnerable in our community,“ Carol said.
“Our service is provided by dedicated and professional registered nurses and carers who specialise in terminal, end-of-life care and have a team of 270 plus volunteers who generously donate their time – including personal carers, gardeners, admin staff, hospice support teams and our wonderful op shop and warehouse volunteers.“
The second prize for the lottery will be $3000 cash and third prize will be $1000 cash.
Tickets go on sale from Monday 1 February and will be drawn on Friday 30 April. The odds of winning are fantastic as only 3500 tickets will be sold at $20 each or a book of 10 tickets will cost $150.
Tickets will be available at the Noosaville Warehouse Op Shop, Tewantin Op Shop, Cooroy Op Shop and Maroochydore Op Shop.
