Donna’s first ever brand new car cost her just a few raffle tickets!
WE have all been there.
You walk past a raffle stand. You look at the charity or sporting club involved, or sometimes the prize catches your eye, and you buy a ticket or two, hoping but never really expecting to get the call.
Fast forward a few months, with a couple of tickets purchased, and Donna Fisher got that call.
She didn’t recognise the phone number when the caller ID came up, so she went back to enjoying her night out, but eventually the unknown number got the best of her and she called back – and it was worth it! The voice on the other end of the line told Donna that she was now the proud owner of a brand new Hyundai i30.
Her ticket purchase had made her the winner.
The raffle was to support the Little Wings organisation, a notfor-profit children’s charity that provides free ongoing flight and ground transport to children and families in need.
The raffle was supported by Sainsbury Automotive Dubbo and Hyundai Help for Kids which offers grants to a range of organisations focused on children’s programs only.
Speaking with an elated Donna on Friday, she still couldn’t believe that she was the owner of a brand new car. It is the first brand new car that she has ever owned.
A fantastic result.
A big thank-you must go out to Hyundai Help for Kids for generously donating the Hyundai i30, to Sainsbury Automotive Dubbo, and thanks also to everyone who purchased tickets.
For more information about Little Wings go to www.littlewings.org.au. ORANA Mid-western Police District will be one of 58 commands across NSW to receive a Child Protection Officer and an Elder Abuse Prevention Officer.
Member for Dubbo and Minister for Police Troy Grant announced that 1500 new police will be added to the NSW Police Force over the next four years – the biggest increase in 30 years.
Mr Grant said protecting some of the most vulnerable members of our community – our children and the elderly – is undoubtedly one of the most important roles that NSW Police perform.
