yourtown is one of the largest and longest running charitable Art Unions in Australia.

For more than 60 years our Prize Draws have helped raise funds to support children and young people.

From sewing machines to horses and now luxury homes, we've come a long way since our first Prize Draw in 1961 – where two shillings bought you a chance to win one of four Holden cars valued at $1,000 each.

Today, our multimillion-dollar Prize Homes offer luxurious lifestyles in locations like the Gold Coast, Sunshine Coast, inner city Sydney and the Mornington Peninsula.

“We know the dream of winning is attractive to our supporters, yet underneath, it is the affirmation people get from collectively being part of something much bigger than any one of us, that has enabled our team to meet the needs of children and young people in our communities.”
