We know that one of your biggest challenges when it comes to organising a school fundraiser or sporting club fundraiser is keeping your costs under control. The more you spend up front, the more tickets you have to sell just to break even, let alone profit.

That’s why we’ve designed our DIY fundraising kits to keep your upfront costs to an absolute minimum – you can break even on the kit with as few as 10-15 ticket sales, making it that much easier to turn a big profit on the night. This is a huge advantage for you, when other people are running fundraisers that don’t even make money! You don’t need to over-commit or spend too much up front.

You don’t need to have any special knowledge about racing to run a DIY school fundraiser or club fundraiser either. We’ll provide you with complete and easy-to-follow instructions, along with all the fun money, betting slips and more that your ‘bookies’ will need on the night.

Kits are available for groups of all sizes, and the format can be adapted to suit all kinds of fundraising activities. You can get each race sponsored, and use the race card template to acknowledge the sponsors, you can name the race after them, even let them choose the horse names for the race!

Racing is a huge part of Australian culture, all year round and especially in spring. This is great for your event, as it means there’s ready-made interest from people of all ages and backgrounds.
