Writers on Rafts

A huge thank you to all who entered, donated, and pledged prizes. Thank you also to The Oxygen Kiosk and Shopify for their generous donation of expertise in managing the website and ticket sales. This has been an enormous effort that has reached around the world and brought writers together to help people in need. We’re proud of you, our community, and what we’ve achieved together.

The winners will be posted here shortly after they have all been notified.

Together we raised almost $13,000 for the Queensland Premier’s Disaster Relief Appeal to support victims of the Queensland floods and tropical cyclone Yasi. These funds are to be immediately deposited to the Appeal and now we’re moving on to phase 2 of Writers on Rafts…

Tickets have just gone on sale for the Ultimate Girly High Tea, so don’t forget to purchase yours soon to avoid disappointment.

Writers on Rafts has smashed through the $12,000 mark and just keeps going!
Entries close on Friday 25 February at 5pm so time is running short. We’re looking forward to seeing which prizes our lucky winners have selected and hearing about their experiences.

Look out for a big announcement about our huge fundraising event, The Ultimate Girly High Tea, which promises to be a whole lot of frilly fun for 200 lucky women at a fantastic location on 1 May. We’ll have more news in the next few days, so watch this site for our updates.

We’ve been overwhelmed with pledges of books and experiences from writers here and overseas, but sadly, with the deadline so close, we’re no longer able to accept donations. Thanks to all for your generosity and community spirit.
