Round 11 will see the launch of the Gold Coast SUNS Foundation's exciting fundraising initiative, the 50-50 Charity Raffle.
Not only will one lucky person walk away richer after every home game at Metricon Stadium, but the raffle helps raise funds for the Gold Coast SUNS Foundation.
Essentially, the total proceeds of all 50-50 tickets sold at each game go into a prize pool, with 50 per cent of the prize pool going to the lucky winner of the random draw with the remaining 50 per cent donated to the Gold Coast SUNS Foundation.
How it works
- 50-50 charity raffle tickets will be on sale throughout Metricon Stadium from roaming staff and volunteers dressed in 50-50 PINK uniforms.
- Ticket prices: 3 numbers $5; 7 numbers $10; 16 numbers $20; 45 numbers $50; 100 numbers $100
- Every ticket sold will be electronically recorded and updated on ticket-seller iPads, on the 50-50 website and on the various screens throughout the stadium, so members and fans can monitor the draw and watch the total prize pool grow in real time.
- Tickets will be available from gates open until just before the end of ¾ time.
- The winning ticket number will be announced by our Ground Announcer before the end of the three quarter time break and also published on the GC SUNS and 50-50 websites.
50-50 co-founder John Corry said it was exciting to be partnering with the SUNS to raise funds and support a great initiative in a fun way.
“We hope to add an extra element of excitement to the match day experience by sending someone home with a cash prize and raising much-needed funds that will have a significant hand in helping to build and strengthen the Community, Young Talent and the Club and its future.,” Mr Corry said.
“Every SUNS home game, one lucky fan inside Metricon Stadium will carry home a huge cheque, with the remaining 50% of funds set aside for the Gold Coast SUNS Foundation as the charity recipient.”
As the charity beneficiary, the Gold Coast SUNS Foundation assist in funding three key projects undertaken by the Club; Community Programs, Talent Academy and Facilities & High Performance.
Gold Coast SUNS CEO Mark Evans said that the charity raffle is a simple concept that can reap huge benefits for SUNS fans and the wider community alike.
“The more tickets sold, the higher the prize pools and ultimately the more funds raised; it’s something everyone can really get behind and support,” Evans said.
“We’re excited to see what the rest of the season brings, and looking forward to everyone getting behind the team both on the field and in the community.”
