These membership can be purchased online on our secure website.
The MCR Club covers ALL the costs associated with the Luxury New York Escape including (drumroll please): prize procurement, permit application, marketing & advertising, management & winner notification, customer service, all the marketing and advertising costs surrounding the promotion of the campaign! Phew! All of our campaigns & competitions are run in-house meaning charities don’t pay for a thing.

No, we charge $0 listing fees to the charities (so more money goes towards the things that count). If after we spend all the effort in putting together the best giveaway experience, we only receive free entries and do not sell a single charity raffle ticket on our website, it will be a pure cost to MCR to fund the experience, so that the charities are not carrying any risks or costs at all. So we are counting on your positive experience with us and trust that if we do a good enough job, you will support the causes on our MCR site and help fund the important work they do for our communities.
