The Combined Parishes Annual Raffle is a long-running Victorian fundraising initiative that enables Catholic parishes and approved charitable organisations to raise funds for their important work. Conducted under Victoria’s community raffle regulations, participating organisations receive a share of the proceeds from every ticket they sell, helping them continue to serve their local communities.
Every ticket you purchase in the Combined Parishes Annual Raffle helps make a real difference in the lives of people who need it most.
Every Ticket Supports Lifeboat
When you purchase a raffle ticket through Lifeboat Geelong Foundation, $1.50 from every $2.00 ticket comes directly to Lifeboat to support its vital work.
Tickets are sold in books of 10, with each ticket priced at $2.00, making each book $20.00. Of this, $15.00 from every book sold goes directly to Lifeboat Geelong Foundation to support its important work.
Your support helps Lifeboat continue providing pastoral and practical assistance to survivors of church-related sexual abuse. Every ticket sold contributes to ensuring this important support remains available for those who need it.
