The draw was officially approved by the QLD government.
The event would not have been complete without the captivating presence of Matt Swift, who acted as the Presenter, MC, and car detailer extraordinaire!
Additionally, the charity raffle organisers gave a sneak peek into their upcoming venture, a fundraiser dedicated to supporting bush kids’ education. While keeping the details under wraps, two tantalising clues were shared: the initiative would evoke memories of playing in a sandpit and possibly draw inspiration from a Transformers character. Anticipation is building, as the launch of this exciting fundraiser is just a few short weeks away.
The success of this charity raffle exemplifies the power of community spirit and generosity, creating a positive impact on veterans in crisis. The Australian Horizons Foundation extends heartfelt thanks to all who participated and supported this noble cause.
