Taspride Festival Raffle 

The money raised from the helps TasPride put on events throughout the year that bring our LGBTIQA+ community together to celebrate our diversity and connection. This year 50% raised from the raffle will be directed to support the Andrew Shaw Foundation. 

​

Andrew Shaw was a young Tasmanian man who died of an AIDS related illness in 1987. In Andrew's memory, his family established the Andrew Shaw Foundation with TasCAHRD to offer financial assistance to people living with or directly affected by HIV/AIDS and are experiencing economic hardship. The foundation is primarily funded through private donations and community fundraising events and activities such as these.
