Store manager Mick Eltze said the event was among a range of fundraisers the store ran throughout the year.
“We have a carpark garage sale, and we do barbecues and cake stalls every weekend,” he said.
“We also run in-store raffles and staff dress-up days.
“We’ve done a bingo night the past couple of years and we’ve been pushing it hard.
“Last year our store was the second-highest fundraiser in the state. We raised $12,500.
“We had a good crack at it. We have some great staff here who drive it.
“This year we’d like to raise $20,000.”
Mr Eltze said all proceeds from Saturday’s event would go to Wimmera Base Hospital in Horsham.
He said there were many prizes on offer, including the main prize of a $250 Woolworths gift card.
“We also have a scooter, toaster, rings from Macchia Jewellery, Scentsy products, and many other prizes,” he said.
“Lots of businesses are supporting it.
“The cost is three books for $20 or six books for $40. There will be 30 games including liners.”
Mr Eltze said snacks and drinks would be available on the night.
The event at Horsham Greyhound Racing Club starts at 7pm.
