Your invitation from JJ at Community Bank Wynnum Manly & Victoria Points
Thank you for completing the Expression of Interest on behalf of your organisation. We have had an incredible response to this opportunity for local organisations/clubs to raise much needed funds without the expense of prizes and tickets.
Such is the response we have increased the total prize pool from $20,000 to $30,000 which now consists of:
1st Prize: $15,000 Bendigo Bank savings account
2nd Prize: $ 3,000 Bendigo Bank savings account
3rd Prize: $ 2,000 Bendigo Bank savings account
4th-13th Prizes: $ 1,000 Bendigo Bank savings accounts
This email will outline the next steps for your organisations/club to participate in the Community Raffle.
The raffle will officially open on 17 March 2025, although tickets will likely not be available until 24 March. Tickets can be sold until 5pm on Friday 30 May 2025
All tickets (sold and unsold) and funds need to be returned by COB on Friday 6 June 2025.
Memorandum of Understanding
Your organisation/club will need to agree to and sign a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between you and the Bayside Community Fund (BCF) who are conducting the raffle. This will need to be signed by an authorised person within your organisation/club (it is up to your organisation/club to decide who this person is). The MOU is attached to this email and must be received or signed in person when you collect your raffle tickets. We understand the authorised person who signs the MOU may not be the person who collects the tickets and posters.
Zoom meeting
An informational Zoom meeting regarding the raffle with be held this Monday 17 March at 7:30pm. Hosted by the BCF the zoom meeting will go through the ins and outs of the raffle – before, during and after. It is requested that at least one person from your organisation/club attends this Zoom meeting. Details for the meeting and registration can be done through website: Zoom Meeting registration
Online Ticket Sales
We have been able to secure RaffleTix as a provider for online ticket sales. Each organisation/club will have their own RaffleTix page, along with QR Code and website to promote online ticket sales (rather than paper tickets). Your organisation’s/club’s QR code and website will be provided to you (physically and electronically) when you hand over your MOU and collect raffle tickets. Please note: The Bendigo Bank will be sponsoring the printing of A3 and A4 posters for each organisation/club to promote the raffle and QR code.
Physical Tickets
With the response we have received in the number of Expressions of Interest we do not expect to be able to meet every organisation/club’s request for number of ticket books. With the ability for online ticket sales we ask that you consider how many physical tickets you need as we may have to limit the tickets available. The total number of tickets available for the Community Raffle is 40,000. This encompasses physical and online sales, indicating that your number of sales online maybe limited as well.
Commitment Form
As the Community Raffle requires a Category 3 Gaming Licence, which we anticipate receiving this week, certain details are required from each organisation/club. We ask that you complete this Commitment form providing the required details of the authorised person along with the organisation’s/club’s main contact person (if they are different people) for the Community Raffle. In this form you will indicate how many physical tickets and how many online tickets you would like. As previously mentioned you may not receive your full request due to the popularity of the Community Raffle. You can complete this form here: Community Raffle Commitment Form
