President of Forbes Services Memorial Club Wayne Richards said the raffle program is a community fundraising initiative made in addition to the ClubGrants Program.
“All financial assistance is aimed at helping as many local groups as possible,” Mr Richards said.
Forbes Services Memorial Club CEO David Fitzgerald said the money could not have been raised without the help of members and guests purchasing raffle tickets every Wednesday and Friday night.
