Driving change and breaking barriers for 21 years

In 2003, Terry Bracks AM, founded Western Chances with a simple yet powerful vision: every young person deserves the chance to complete their education and fulfil their potential.

From its humble beginnings in 2003, Western Chances has grown into a powerful force for change in Melbourne’s western suburbs.

Over the last 21 years, the non-profit organisation has awarded over 11,000 educational scholarships, providing vital financial support to more than 4,000 motivated, talented students.Western Chances has partnered with 39 schools across Brimbank, Hobsons Bay, Maribyrnong, Melton, Moonee Valley, Wyndham and Geelong.

As 2024 marks a milestone, Western Chances’ 21-year celebration is not just about reflecting on the past—it’s about shaping the future. With the rising demand for scholarships and increasing financial pressures on families, they’re calling on the community for support.

An exciting way to contribute is by entering the raffle for a chance to win a brand-new 2024 Kia Stonic GT-Line, valued at $35,375. Generously donated by Hopper Motor Group, a true pillar of positivity in the west, all proceeds will directly fund scholarships for young people.

The raffle winner will be drawn live on October 24 and is open to anyone aged 18+ in Victoria, New South Wales, and Queensland. Winners will be contacted directly.

Tickets are available for $50 for one, $100 for three, and $200 for eight. By purchasing a ticket, you’re not only entering for a chance to win a car, but also helping to provide life-changing opportunities for young people in need.
