Donate a Prize, Make a Difference

25 Aug

We’re getting ready for this year’s Walk for ENCORE and are calling on our wonderful local business community to help us make our raffle the best one yet!

We’re looking for fantastic raffle prizes that our Walk for ENCORE community would be excited to win. Whether it’s a gift voucher, dining or experience package, accommodation stay, hamper, product or service, your donation can help make a real difference.

Support ENCORE through our raffle

All funds raised through the Walk for ENCORE raffle will support ENCORE, YWCA Hunter Region’s free eight-week wellness and exercise program for women following breast cancer treatment.

ENCORE provides women with opportunities to exercise, learn, connect and build confidence in a welcoming and supportive community. With the program now delivered across five locations in the Hunter Region, and more women waiting for a place, fundraising is helping us continue to provide ENCORE free of charge and reach more women.

Could your business donate a prize?

We’d love to hear from local businesses who would like to support Walk for ENCORE by donating a raffle prize.

Some ideas include:

🎁 Gift vouchers

🍽️ Dining experiences

✨ Experiences or activities

🏨 Accommodation stays

🧺 Hampers

🛍️ Products

💆 Services or treatments

Your generosity will not only help raise funds for ENCORE but also provide an opportunity to showcase and support local businesses within our community.
