Harris HospisCare 500 Club first winners announced!
On Tuesday 31 January Harris HospisCare held the very first draw of the brand new 500 Club.
The 500 Club gives hospice supporters the opportunity to win cash prizes each month whilst also raising funds for the essential work of the hospice. It costs just £5 per month per number and half of all the funds collected will be given away in prizes. The remainder is donated to the hospice without administration costs deducted, meaning that 50p in every £1 generated will directly support the cause.
Every month three cash prizes will be given away and a little will be reserved for a bumper draw in December. The first lucky winners are Mrs Wright of Chislehurst, Mrs Garelick of Orpington and Mr Holt of Bromley; their winning cheques are on the way to them.
So far there are 230 numbers in play but the hospice hopes to reach 500 in the next few months, which would mean the total raised for the hospice over the course of a year would be £15,000.
Fundraising Manager, Christine Davies said: We wanted to do something to thank supporters and prize draw will do exactly that. The amount to win will really mount up as the number of members grows. It’s a win – win situation with half the proceeds being given back to the supporters and the remainder will help us to continue providing care to those who need it in our community.
The hospice is looking for more places to promote the 500 Club. Are you a member of a club, group or society? Do you work in a place with lots of employees or customers? If so can you distribute leaflets? Please contact Christine Davies on 01689 825755 for a supply of leaflets.
