Annual raffle raises Lion’s share

After a six-week fundraising campaign, the Warkworth Lions Club has raised about $10,000 for the Kowhai Coast Youth Trust and Warkworth Wellsford Hospice.

Lions members sold more than 3000 raffle tickets. Shiva Goundar, of Glenfield, won the top prize of a $2000 travel voucher, Cherye Clarke, Matakana, won a night at Sky City Hotel and J Kimber, Orewa, won a $100 fuel voucher. Warkworth Mobil owners Bev and Wilbert Vissers donated $1000 after pledging to match the club’s fundraising on their final day.
