50-50 Charity Raffle
The 50/50 Charity Raffle is back this week and in Round 22 we are showing our support for UADV (United Against Domestic Violence).
UADV are an advocate for the principle that all families have the right to be safe, empowered, and live a life free from violence and fear. They are catalysts for changing society to have zero tolerance for domestic violence and alter social perceptions on victims of domestic violence. Their mission is to work closely with the local community and businesses to provide support to families who have survived the atrocities of domestic violence.
50-50 charity raffle tickets will be on sale throughout the precinct at ANZ Stadium from staff and charity volunteers dressed in 50-50 uniforms.
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.
Visit the 50-50 Charity Raffle volunteers who will be roaming the ANZ Stadium precinct or at their 50-50 booths located at Gates B & K.
The total proceeds of all 50-50 tickets sold at each game go into a prize pool, with 50% of the prize pool going to the lucky winner of the random draw and 50% being donated to the nominated Charity Partner (-10% administration fee from 50-50).
