A unique approach to fundraising has hit the fan, or the paddock in this case, as Busselton Hospice Care Inc and Beerfarm partner for a Cow Poo Lotto – a fun raffle to help support an important cause.
With fate determined by where the cow chooses to poo, members of the public are invited to purchase sections of a 50mx50m paddock to go in the draw to win $20,000.
It will be a day of fun and frivolity to raise money for a very important local charity, Busselton Hospice Care Inc, a professional volunteer-led organisation promoting and facilitating hospice and palliative care for people in the community experiencing end of life.
Busselton Hospice Care Inc chief executive James Jarvis said Cow Poo Lotto was a fun way to extend the Hospice’s impact in the community and couldn’t wait to see it happen.
“We value and honour the sacredness of life and death and provide volunteer-led, free hospice and bereavement support, and complementary therapies to people diagnosed with a life-limiting illness, and their carers,” Mr Jarvis said.
“Just like regular lotto, this ‘country-style’ event leaves the winner completely up to chance and I can’t wait to see people get behind it, so to speak!”
Beerfarm said the brewer and venue was proud to be supporting such an important cause.
Cow Poo Lotto will take place at Beerfarm on November 12 from 2.30pm. More information and a limited number of tickets are available online.
