Netball WA and Hyundai have signed a one-year partnership, which will help drive participation in the Netball WA community raffle, delivering benefits to associations and clubs across the state.
Hyundai and its WA dealership network are donating the all-new Kona Hybrid Premium N Line valued at $54,118 driveaway as the major prize in the raffle.
Netball WA has changed the funding model of the raffle, which will now see 100% of proceeds from ticket sales go directly to associations and clubs. Last year’s raffle yielded almost $38,000 in sales, with one club raising more than $20,000
Netball WA chief executive Simone Hansen says the change in the funding model was made possible because of the new partnership.
“We are excited to have Hyundai on board as a major partner of Netball WA, and the generous contribution of a vehicle for our community raffle would be a huge benefit to Netball in Western Australia,” Hansen says.
“Hyundai’s support and passion for community sport will help Netball WA to drive participation in our raffle to levels we have never seen before. We are celebrating our centenary and would love to sell $100,000 tickets to mark this milestone.
“We know associations and clubs will welcome the opportunity to keep every dollar from every ticket sold to help fund projects and initiatives to help their players, coaches, officials and supporters.
“We strongly encourage every association and club to use the Netball WA community raffle as their major fundraiser in 2024 and beyond. Netball WA handles all the administration and permits so that community netball can focus on selling tickets, and now they will keep 100% of sales.”
Hyundai regional general manager Michael Beros says Hyundai is excited about joining forces with one of Western Australia’s biggest and brightest sporting associations.
“This new partnership between Hyundai and Netball WA signifies a new chapter for our brand. We know how deeply entrenched netball is within WA’s passionate sporting culture, which boasts thousands of active participants across all levels.
“We look forward to implementing initiatives that drive lasting progress and support, such as the Hyundai Community Netball Raffle. By integrating Hyundai’s extensive local dealership network, we look forward to collaborating with Netball WA to strengthen and support this incredibly passionate community,” he says.
