Play for a Purpose this Father’s Day

Instead of socks and undies, there’s a different type of gift Sunbury and Macedon Ranges families can opt for this Father’s Day – one that supports important community causes and gives dad the chance to win.

A ticket into a Play For Purpose raffle not only raises money for one of the 500 causes you can choose from but also offers the chance to win a First Prize Pack worth $250,000.

Tickets into Raffle 20, which closes on September 14 are now available with a First Prize Pack that includes an electric BMW iX3 M Sport, $100,000 in cashable gold bullion and a $17,000 shopping spree.

Play For Purpose spokesperson Matt Hart said a ticket into the next raffle was the ideal gift for the dad who had everything.

“Every $10 Play For Purpose ticket makes a real difference to Australian communities, with $5 from every ticket sold going directly to the charity you choose,” he said.

“From rescuing and rehoming animals and providing drought relief for Aussie farmers, through to contributing to vital cancer research and helping sick kids — there are over 500 great causes to choose from so you can pick one that matters to him.

“And dad’s Play For Purpose ticket means he’s in the running to take home one of the hundreds of other prizes on offer.”
