Community spirit alive and well



In the heart of the Sunshine Coast, where community spirit and neighbourly support have always been cherished values, Fundraising by ClubDraws is making a significant impact. With our weekly $2000 draw, this innovative platform is not just about winning big, it’s about giving back to the charities and clubs that play such a vital role in our community.

For those who might not be familiar, Fundraising by ClubDraws is a unique fundraising initiative that combines the excitement of a weekly cash draw with the satisfaction of knowing your participation is directly benefiting local charities and clubs.

Each week, participants have the chance to win $2000, and every ticket purchased contributes to the club or charity you choose when joining, supporting the groups that make our Sunshine Coast community stronger and more vibrant.

What sets us apart is its dual focus. Of course, the thrill of potentially winning a $2000 prize is a major draw for participants. But beyond that, there’s the undeniable appeal of knowing that your ticket purchase is doing more than just securing your chance to win—it’s directly supporting charities and clubs right here in the Sunshine Coast.

Each week, a portion of the proceeds from the ticket sales is funnelled back into the community, helping fund local projects, events, and initiatives that might otherwise struggle to find financial backing. It’s a simple, yet powerful way to give back, and one that resonates deeply with those who understand the value of community support.

The Sunshine Coast is home to a wide range of charities and clubs, each with its own unique mission. From organisations supporting the elderly and providing services to our most vulnerable, to clubs promoting local sports, the breadth of causes that Fundraising by ClubDraws helps fund is truly inspiring.

One local charity, for example, recently used funds from the draws to support its Wildlife Rescue program, providing more support to those desperate animals in need. Another sports club was able to upgrade its facilities, ensuring that young players have a safe and modern place to train and compete. These are just a few examples of how the money raised by the draws is making a tangible difference.

Why It Matters

For many of us, the Sunshine Coast isn’t just a place—it’s home. It’s where we’ve raised our families, built our lives, and formed connections that last a lifetime. The charities and clubs that Fundraising by ClubDraws supports are an integral part of what makes our community so special. They provide services, opportunities, and support that enrich all our lives.

By participating in ClubDraws, you’re not just buying a ticket—you’re investing in the future of the Sunshine Coast. You’re helping to ensure that these vital organisations can continue to operate, to expand, and to serve our community for years to come.

If you haven’t yet joined the draw, now is the perfect time. With a $2000 prize up for grabs each week and the knowledge that your participation is directly benefiting local charities and clubs, there’s every reason to get involved.

So why not take a chance? You could be the next winner, and in the process, you’ll be helping to make our community even better.
