Each year, the WA Mining Club's annual raffle raises funds for the Royal Flying Doctor Service  (RFDS) for their crucial service to the country and mining communities.

The RFDS is reliant on donations to fund the purchase of replacement aircraft, medical equipment and the ever increasing costs of providing transportation for patients in need of urgent specialist attention.

We also support the WA School of Mines (WASM), an institution renowned for educating and training the country's future mining leaders. A portion of the money raised from this year's raffle will be donated to WASM to create a remote student support fund, for those students without resources readily available to them.

We'd like to thank our generous 2009 sponsors of the raffle:

Lazza's Hiab and Cable Beach Club for donating 3 nights accommodation for 2 people at Cable Beach Club Resort, Broome Voucher for return airfares Valued at $2,500
