TEC Season 4 will see the introduction of a completely NEW structure
The model we’ve been using over the past three seasons has created some confusion, as ticket sales and the Early Bird draw for the upcoming season occur simultaneously with the final draws of the previous season
Consequently, the new model will consolidate ticket sales and draws to take place within a single 12-month period, ensuring there is no overlap.
The development of the new model is still in progress; however, once it’s been fully mapped out the timeline for the new format, including details about draws and prize options, will be available here, on the Travel Escape Club website, in the second quarter of 2025.
The Travel Escape Club will still be a FUN, exciting and UNIQUE progressive raffle, with many opportunities to win amazing prizes drawn over a period of months.
WHY run the Travel Escape Club?
To start with…this fundraiser is FUN for ticket holders, but while it may create excitement for those who join us as ticket holders, fundamentally its aim is to generate funds for those in the community who are less fortunate than us or require assistance from us.
In recent years, the money raised through this raffle has significantly benefitted many individuals in our community and beyond. It has supported initiatives for youth suicide prevention into high schools. It’s providing FREE courses on mental health well-being and resilience for our community especially our dedicated volunteer organisations. It’s delivering bursaries for psychology students and funding counselling services for families and children facing life-threatening illnesses or challenging circumstances.
We love the fact we can help our community in these ways but we also love providing everyone who donates (buys a ticket) the chance to win fabulous prizes through being in a FUN and UNIQUE raffle. It’s a WIN WIN !!
We are currently exploring projects to address Rotary’s advocacy program “Say No to Domestic Violence” and would welcome any community or charitable organisations to approach us if they feel we could partner with them to provide funds towards their programs if it is supporting youth, women and domestic violence.
BENEFICIARIES 2024-2025
All net profits are directed towards our nominated projects each year. Most funds stay locally, but regional and international programs will be supported based on need.
Our PRIMARY BENEFICIARIES for the 2024-2025 season
We are funding psychologist vouchers to assist families and young individuals diagnosed with life-threatening illnesses.
We are assisting with funds to support the “Kids Cooking and Care Program”
LATROBE UNIVERSITY PSYCHOLOGY BURSARIES
We are supporting fifth-year psychology students to pursue their Master’s degree to address the scarcity of fully qualified psychologists in our region.
Each year funds raised through the Travel Escape Club focuses on different causes to support. In 2022-23 youth suicide prevention was our major focus supporting the Solstice Documentary into schools. In 2023-24 we supported the development and delivery of a short course in mental health first aid and resilience for volunteers working across a broad spectrum of charitable organisations.
We are continuing to offer FREE training. Please see the following POST or check the POST tab on this website
