Support Great Causes with the Brisbane Racing Club During Ladbrokes Spring Racing Carnival
9 October 2025
The Brisbane Racing Club will host a 50-50 Charity Raffle at each of its upcoming racedays during the Ladbrokes Spring Racing Carnival to help raise much-needed funds for five different charity organisations.
The first raffle this Saturday (11 October) on Cricks Highway Queensland Cup Raceday at Eagle Farm Racecourse will benefit Make-A-Wish Australia.
The 50-50 fundraising initiative gives racegoers the chance to win big cash prizes, with everyone who buys a raffle ticket going into the draw for their chance to win 50 percent of the total prize pool of tickets sold. The other 50 percent goes to support great charitable causes. The more tickets sold, the bigger the cash prize to be won and the more money raised for the raceday charity.
Raffle ticket sellers in distinctive 50-50 green aprons will be at each raceday, and from the Monday before each raceday, tickets can be purchased online via the Brisbane Racing Club's 50-50 Charity Raffle homepage.
Since 2018, BRC has helped raise more than $949,000 for a wide range of charities and raffle winners through the 50-50 initiative.
If you would like to volunteer to sell tickets for any of the charities on the racedays, please email the charities directly.
