The last 20 ticket holders left in the draw will be invited to the Bashall home in Johannesburg where the final draw will take place on 11^th May.

The winning ticket holder will win R200,000 and an equivalent amount will go to The Link Trust.

Broader communication around this draw process will be provided via Facebook.

Background to the competition

The Link Literacy Project touches the lives of about 800 children in 9 schools through the donation of time by approximately 350 volunteers on a weekly basis.

Although time is the most important and valuable resource it requires, the Project also needs monetary backing to fund daily operations. At its current size, around R350 000 is required to run the project for a year. A further upfront R80 000 plus R10 000 annually is required to open a new center.

Sourcing this funding is no easy task, however, as donor fatigue is a very real side-effect of the unrelenting competing social demands in South Africa which, when combined with the local and global economic headwinds, negatively impacts our ability and propensity to donate to good causes.

In order to combat this challenge, The Link Trust embarked on an innovative competition to raise funds while offering donors the chance to win a significant cash prize.
