Sometimes, a dream is more than something to wish for. For a child facing a life-threatening illness, a dream can be a moment of escape, a reason to smile and, most importantly, a powerful reminder that hope still exists.
That is the heart behind the 31st annual Reach For A Dream Dream Raffle, which is once again turning public participation into life-changing moments for children and their families across South Africa.
And this year, there is even more reason to dream.
At the centre of the campaign is a prize that promises adventure on four wheels, a brand-new Jetour T2 Aspire, proudly sponsored by Lazarus Motor Company.
But the journey does not stop there.
The lucky winner will also receive R1 500 worth of fuel every month for a year, courtesy of Discovery Insure, adding even more excitement to an already extraordinary prize.
For those dreaming beyond the open road, the second prize offers a seven-day Mediterranean cruise for two, courtesy of MSC Cruises.
And for coffee lovers, the third prize brings the cafe experience home, a fully automatic Philips Series 5500 Espresso machine, accompanied by a R450 coffee hamper and free coffee for a year from Avanti.
Yet behind every prize is something far more valuable: hope.
At only R200 per ticket, with just 10 000 tickets available, every entry helps Reach For A Dream continue fulfilling dreams for young patients facing some of their toughest moments.
The Foundation says the initiative enables it to fulfil seven dreams a day across the country, bringing joy, dignity and precious moments of happiness to children and their families.
“By buying a R200 raffle ticket, the public can help us continue to fulfil seven dreams a day across the country,” says Julia Sotirianakos, CEO of Reach For A Dream.
The campaign officially opened on 1 September 2026, with entries available exclusively through www.dreamraffle.co.za, while the final draw is scheduled for 7 December 2026.
Importantly, all raffle operations are fully compliant with National Lotteries Commission guidelines, with tickets securely managed through the official Dream Raffle website, which tracks entries and ticket limits in real time.
For Reach For A Dream, this is not simply another raffle. It is a bridge between a person’s desire to win something extraordinary and a child’s desire for something even more precious, a moment of happiness in the middle of a difficult journey.
So, whether your dream is driving away in a brand-new Jetour T2, sailing across the Mediterranean or enjoying the perfect cup of coffee at home, your ticket can help turn another child’s dream into reality.
Your dream starts here.
Theirs starts with you.
