He has bought tickets at Rotary Melbourne’s weekly meetings for 15 years - and at last, his number came up. Now that’s commitment! Congratulations, Branko.

Behind the weekly fun is some serious community impact. Run by our Community Welfare Committee, with bottles generously donated by members, the raffle has raised approximately $30,000 over the past five years.

Those funds have supported projects including Make A House A Home, The Smith Family, Rotary Safe Families, ForAMeal and the Rotary Inner Melbourne Emergency Relief Network.

One weekly tradition. Thousands of dollars raised. Countless people supported - and one very patient winner!
