Raise thousands for your

school, church or club in our

50/50 Prize Draw

Join our 50/50 Prize Draw and raise cash for your club, church or school

 

Organisations across Scotland are being offered the opportunity to raise valuable funds, whilst helping our charity.

 

This is being achieved through a nationwide prize draw, to be completed before Christmas – providing schools, churches, clubs, the charity and many potential winners a very happy new year!

The ‘50 / 50 Prize Draw’ splits takings from sold tickets to benefit both the charity and the organisations taking part, whilst providing access to an impressive cache of prizes that is hard to match.

“It’s a fantastic opportunity for us to partner with organisations so that we raise funds together whilst raising the profile of our Charity,” said Cameron Henderson of Royal Blind. “The draw has been organised so that events such as Halloween, Bonfire Night and Christmas can be used to sell tickets and it finishes mid December so that all the prizes are issued before the festive break.'

 

Top prizes this year include:

  • £7000 in cash,
  • a 32” Sony Widescreen TV plus Xbox 360 Elite, and
  • Nintendo Wii’s (4 to be won) .

 

This is not to mention the whole host of ‘money can’t buy’ prizes including authentic memorabilia from Coronation Street, signed Scottish Premiership merchandise, and books and other goodies signed by author Ian Rankin.

Tickets are on sale now for the draw that will take place on Monday 17 December 2007 in order that all the winners can enjoy their prizes over the festive season.
