Each ticket costs only RM5 and you even stand a chance to win one of the sponsored prizes.
Of course, I personally feel it is not right to contribute just because there will be a lucky draw. I once read that "true charity is the desire to be useful to others without the thought of recompense or reward". Hence, regardless of whether there is something in it for us, RM5 is not too much to ask. A mere RM5 out of your pocket could just mean a less feasty meal for you, but it could mean saving a life when accumulated.
