Hospice Raffle: thank you for your support

Grahamstown Hospice and Sunshine Coast Hospice rely to a certain extent on funding, donations and subscriptions from the public sector for the invaluable work they perform within their respective communities.

Thus, the hospices are ever-grateful for the ongoing financial support we receive.

In addition, golf days, social events and raffles are held from time to time to generate funds.

The most recent raffle organised by Grahamstown Hospice and Sunshine Coast Hospice realised some very welcome funds, and the hospices wish to thank all those who purchased tickets.

Residents along the coast and inland to Grahamstown and surrounds responded enthusiastically to requests from ticket sellers to purchase tickets, and we are most grateful. Your support is much appreciated. Of course, thanks and appreciation are also extended to the companies and individuals who donated prizes, and there were some really attractive prizes on offer.
