100-for-100 Raiders reach the 100

by NRL

Raiders are proud to announce that last week the club reached the century in the highly successful 100-4-100 membership campaign.

The 100-4-100 initiative was designed to reward 100 randomly selected Raiders members for their passionate support with 100 exclusive experiences.

These exclusive experiences ranged from Raiders member Sean Ferrari announcing the re-signing of Josh Dugan at the official press conference to former captain Alan Tongue attending a members wedding.

The 100th milestone was achieved last Thursday when 10 randomly selected members were invited to dinner at Hogs Breath Cafe with Raiders stars such as Sam Williams, Bronson Harrison, Blake Ferguson and Edrick Lee.

"Our members are without doubt are most loyal and passionate supporters so the club's 100-4-100 initiative was a great vehicle to go about rewarding them for their support," said Bronson Harrison.

"The dinner in itself was very enjoyable and the members that attended were all lovely people and very passionate about their team. All of the players know just how important our members are to the club and hopefully we can get them all of them back on board next year and continue to grow our membership base."

The club's administration has also been thoroughly pleased with the initiative. Membership Manager Sarah Gilbert was overjoyed with how successful the campaign was received by the club's members.

"The 100-4-100 campaign has been a terrific initiative," enthused Gilbert. "It gives members the opportunity to interact with the players in restricted and private settings, which is something they wouldn't normally be able to do."

"Member's are the lifeblood of the Canberra Raiders - without their support we would not be able to run out onto the field every week and play footy. They help us to secure the club's future on and off the field which in turn benefits the wider Canberra region."

The Canberra Raiders would like to take this opportunity to thank all of our wonderful members for their passionate support of the club so far this year.

The 100-4-100 campaign will continue on past the 100 and has already risen to 108 and members are encouraged to send their suggestions via the members' newsletter or to reception@raiders.com.au
