Rainbows Children’s Hospice have launched their second Spring Super draw giving supporters the chance to win a top prize of £3,000! This one off draw allows supporters to win up to £4,500. The raffle tickets come in books of 10 and are £1 each ticket.
The first super draw launched last year and raised a tremendous £25,000; with the help of local businesses and the community, Rainbows are looking to top last years figure. Everyone is welcome to sell tickets in the most creative way you can, set challenges within your workplace and friends and see who can sell the most!
The draw will take place on the 25th April 2008 and tickets are all £1 each. The deadline of handing in the tickets is the 21st April and even if you are in the weekly lottery, the more tickets the buy, the higher the chances of winning! Jas Dosanjh, Lottery Sales Executive for Rainbows says, “Everyone has been brilliant and people are selling raffle tickets in their workplace, to friends and family and even taking them into schools for parents and teachers to sell books!”
Rainbows need in excess of £2.5 million each year to keep its doors open to the children who use the hospice, helping children and young people reach their full potential and get the most out of their short lives.
To help sell tickets or to recieve additional books to sell call Jas on 01509 638 058 or email on jas@rainbows.co.uk.
