The Young Services Club has raised more than $2,300 for the Young Oncology Unit through a simple and community-driven State of Origin fundraiser.

The initiative involved a doubles competition the first two try scorers for each state during games two and three of the Origin series, with tickets sold at $5 each and a $500 prize on offer for the winner.

The oncology unit are looking to expand their wig library and the donation from the club will be a great help.

A spokesperson from the club said it was an easy way to contribute to an important local service.

“It was an easy thing to do and we were more than happy to do it for a good cause,” they said.

“The tickets just sold, and that’s why it was so easy to sell because everyone has someone in their life who was affected and it’s great to have the service available locally.”

The oncology unit itself sold 100 tickets, while Gary Quinn from the Young Bowling Club and Brett Maxwell from the Young Golf Club also helped boost sales.

The competition covered games two and three of the series, and the club noted that the final winner is still yet to be determined for the last match.
