For many of us, the holiday season is a time of giving and celebration. And, yes, this includes the Secret Santa that falls upon your office every year, or for your distant cousins you only ever see at Christmas. Buying for colleagues is hard — you might not know them well enough to buy them a thoughtful gift, and even if you do, limited budgets placed on these types of activities restrict you even further. On top of that, these gifts can often just be wasteful stocking fillers that end up discarded sooner or later. Don’t you think it’s time, in the true spirit of Christmas, we try to find gifts that are exciting and as meaningful as possible?
So, this year, why not spread some festive cheer with the gift of giving back? The Play For Purpose charity raffle makes this process easy, allowing you to buy a ticket in support of a great community cause and give your Secret Santa recipient the chance to win a share in $300,000 worth of epic prizes, just in time for Christmas! Better still, tickets are just $10 with at least $5 from every ticket going directly to the charity of your choosing! Want to buy tickets in bulk? You can, and you can include a message to add a personal touch. This is a gift that goes a really long way, and from just $10, it’s a tiny price to pay when it comes to helping change lives for good.
But you won’t just be helping make the day of your giftee, or helping the many people Play For Purpose’s charity partners support. Buying a Play For Purpose ticket unlocks the possibility to change your life! If you buy a ticket before Thursday, December 14, you’ll go into the draw for the chance to win one of 395 prizes up for grabs. The top prize? A brand new Audi Q5 Sportback S Line (worth $118,000) and $131,000 worth of cashable gold bullion. That’s a $250,000 first prize pack just for doing a good deed.
Other major prizes include a $15,000 JB Hi-Fi gift voucher, a $7,500 travel voucher, a VISA gift voucher worth $5,000 and a Woolworths gift voucher worth $2,500 - wouldn’t that be a great Secret Santa gift to receive or present for yourself, just in time for the holiday season?
But with more than 500 charities to choose from, that your ticket can help support, how do you decide what charity to put your ticket proceeds towards?

Animal welfare touches the hearts of many and as we approach the Summer fire season, it’s reassuring to know not-for-profit organisations like WIRES exist to help keep our Australian wildlife safe. Caring for sick and injured animals, WIRES has rescue officers available 24/7 year-round, providing assistance to over 130,000 animals across our communities.
With a growing fleet of wildlife ambulances and emergency responders, WIRES relies heavily on volunteer carers to rescue and rehabilitate our furry friends, nursing them back to health when no one else can. Proceeds from your Play For Purpose ticket will go directly toward supporting WIRES and making sure they can continue to do good work.

We might take for granted how much connection we share with loved ones over the holiday seasons, but for those experiencing homelessness, that connection is crucially important. Orange Sky Australia provides genuine conversations to Australians experiencing homelessness, as well as providing free access to vital amenities, like showers and laundry.
Choosing a raffle ticket in support of Orange Sky Australia means strengthening our community by looking after those who need it most, and, more importantly, offering those conversations that may be hard to come by, especially at Christmas time.

While a lot of families get together over Christmas, some are stuck at hospital during the festive season with the stress of a child undergoing cancer treatment. Thankfully, the Childhood Cancer Association is all about giving hands-on support to these families, from education, to accommodation and counselling, while their child goes through treatment and beyond.
Funds raised in support of the Childhood Cancer Association will help make these families’ lives just that little bit easier, so rest assured that proceeds from a Play For Purpose ticket will be much appreciated.
