100 Club
Following on from several years of successfully running a “100 Club” at the Centre we are continuing this fundraising venture for another year. For a modest contribution, of at least £1.00 per month, you will not only be supporting the Charity but also giving yourself a chance of winning a monthly prize.
The basic features of the 100 club lottery are as follows:
- For a payment of £1.00 each month (payable for twelve months in advance, cash or cheque) you will be allocated one Draw Number which will be entered into a monthly draw together with Draw Numbers of fellow supporters of Swanley Therapy Centre (SUMS).
- Lottery income will be £1200.00 per year should 100 numbers be purchased.
- Half the total proceeds will be allocated as prizes, totalling £600.00 per year if the 100 numbers are purchased.
- There will be a monthly draw with a prize of at least £50.00.
This has proven to be a popular way of raising money for the Centre because of the chance of winning the prize to be drawn each month.
Anyone can buy more than one Draw Number. Simply complete the application form attached and return it to the Centre, along with cash or cheque for the correct amount depending on the total numbers you required i.e. 1 for £12.00, 2 for £24.00 etc… All forms should be returned before the 31st October, so that the administration can be completed in time for the November 2016 draw.
You will receive a membership card with your new allocated number/s for the first draw.
