The Marine Rescue NSW current fund-raising art union is getting close to the end and with over $229,600 in prizes, including a 4WD, fishing boat, jet skis, luxury travel and VIP sports tickets.
It is organised and conducted annually by Marine Rescue NSW, which ensures that all proceeds stay within the organisation.
It will be drawn at Marine Rescue NSW headquarters at Cronulla, Sydney, at noon on May 30, 2017. All proceeds from the Marine Rescue NSW Art Union go to the emergency service’s 45 volunteer units.
The units cover the entire NSW coastline from the Queensland border to Eden and inland on the Alpine Lakes and the Murray River, at Moama.
Supporters of the state’s official volunteer marine search and rescue service can also buy tickets online at https://artunion.mrnsw.com.au/
A subtle reminder that the annual fishing closure to protect Australian bass and estuary perch is fast approaching with the 2017 four-month closure to take effect from May 1 to August 31 to protect these popular native sport fish.
