Business fundraises for Down Syndrome
A KUBOTA RTV valued at over $36,000 is up for grabs for those wanting to purchase a raffle ticket and support fundraising for Casali’s Down Syndrome Awareness Drive for 2025.
This year marks 10 years of Casali’s efforts to raise money and awareness, celebrate inclusion, and support those living with Down Syndrome.
Supporters of the cause will do a drive from the Daintree to the Lion’s Den Hotel north of Rossville. This year’s drive will be held from 4-5 October.
“What began as a small community gathering has grown into a heartfelt tradition, bringing together friends, families, and supporters from near and far,” store owner Alex Arena said.
“Each year, we ride not just for fun, but for a cause that is close to our hearts promoting understanding, acceptance, and celebrating the incredible individuals in our lives.”
The prize on offer is a Kubota RTV-XG850SL valued at over $36,000, which was supplied by Casali’s and Kubota Australia. Tickets are $100 each and there are a limited number available. The winning ticket will be drawn on 29 September.
Tickets can be purchased from Casali’s Mareeba, located at 51 Rankin Street, or by calling 4092 3841.
