I would like to extend my deepest gratitude to everyone who played a part in my recent raffle fundraiser for the Mates4Mates charity.

Mates4Mates supports returning veterans through physical rehabilitation, mental health, and wellbeing services, and through social connection activities and recovery skills.

To everyone who bought tickets, thank you for your recognition of the cause and your willingness to help. To the RSL Sub-Branch and Gleeson’s Mercery, thank you for your generous donations that made up our first and second prizes for the raffle. Thank you, as well, to Mrs Sims for putting so much time and effort in organising this with me.

Congratulations to the following individuals on their prizes:

1st prize – $100 RSL voucher: Stu Sims

2nd prize – $50 Gleesons Mercery voucher: Jim O’Dea

3rd prize – St Joseph’s School wine pack: Christine Duff

Thanks to everyone involved, our group of eight Premier’s Anzac Prize winners have together raised $16,200 for the Mates4Mates charity.
