The charity raffle you don’t need to search for

CHARITY RAFFLE… This month's Shepparton Club Charity Raffle will go to Shepparton Search and Rescue. SSR is not government-funded, so they rely on the generosity of the community they serve. It costs $1,800 to kit out each volunteer, and the equipment kit for each vehicle is $90,000.

THEY are on the front line providing critical services at road crashes, storm assistance, land searches and more. But most people don’t know that Shepparton Search and Rescue (SSR) rely on grants and donations for everything they have, with no government funding.

That is why the proceeds of this month’s Shepparton Club Charity raffle will go to Shepparton Search and Rescue, to help the courageous local volunteer organisation keep the community safe. The funds raised by the charity raffle will enable SSR to invest in vital rescue equipment.
