Palliative Care South East (PCSE) has teamed up with Greyhounds Entertainment to support individuals facing terminal illness through the Parma for Palliative Care initiative.
Starting on 1 January, the initiative will run throughout 2025, with $1 from every parma sold at Greyhounds Entertainment donated to PCSE. The funds raised will support residents in Greater Dandenong, the City of Casey, Cardinia Shire, and parts of Kingston, helping improve the quality of life for clients and their families.
This partnership comes at a special time for PCSE, which is celebrating its 40th anniversary this year. Funds raised will go directly toward providing medical and emotional support, enhancing client care, and offering a compassionate hand to help people through their difficult journeys.
Kelly Rogerson, Chief Executive Officer of PCSE, highlighted the importance of community support to sustain their essential services.
“Our partnership with Greyhounds Entertainment shows how we can work together to make moments matter for real people,” Rogerson said. “We highly encourage everyone in the community to head down and enjoy a meal, knowing that $1 from every Parmawill support our programs that are helping your neighbours, friends, and families.”
Greyhounds Entertainment General Manager Ian Chapman expressed his excitement about continuing the initiative throughout 2025.
“As the General Manager of Greyhounds Entertainment, I am excited to share our commitment to community support through continuing with the “Parma for Palliative Care” initiative all year round 2025.
We are proud to partner with Palliative Care Southeast, where every delicious Parma sold will contribute $1 directly to assist individuals in our community facing life-limiting illnesses. This initiative not only provides vital funding for compassionate care but also brings our community together to support those in need.
We recognise the importance of ongoing support for organisations like Palliative Care South East, and I am pleased to announce that our commitment will extend beyond January. Throughout the entire year of 2025, Greyhounds Entertainment will continue to support this cause. By doing so, we hope to raise awareness and funds that will help improve the quality of life for individuals and families facing terminal illnesses.
We invite everyone to join us in this important mission. Enjoying a meal at Greyhounds Entertainment will not only satisfy your taste buds but also contribute to making a meaningful difference in the lives of those who need it most. Together, we can create a lasting impact in our community and ensure that everyone receives the care and support they deserve during their most challenging times.
Thank you for your continued support as we embark on this journey together. Let’s make every meal count!”
In 2024, PCSE supported 2,224 clients and 707 family networks as they faced the challenges of terminal illness. The ongoing support from Greyhounds Entertainment will help ensure that PCSE can continue to provide these vital services.

Laverton woman thanks ‘manifestation magic’ for Keno win
A Laverton woman shared she was left thanking the universe after she scored a $60,000 Keno Classic 8 Spot prize at Club Laverton in the weeks leading up to last Christmas.
“It was a big surprise! Especially coming up to Christmas, it’s perfect!” she cheered.
“Do you want to hear something really funny? I just wrote in my diary the day before winning, ‘Thank you, universe, for my Keno 8 Spot win’. Then it really came true!

All eyes on a winning FY26
Keno’s National Partner Manager Luke Harrison said he couldn’t wait to see which Victorian clubs welcomed the next big Keno winners.
“Last financial year, players at Victorian clubs celebrated some impressive victories,” he said.
“A key highlight has been the growing popularity of Keno’s Bonus and Replay features among club patrons. This trend reflects how venues are successfully connecting with their customers, sharing updates on jackpot increases, promotional offers, and game enhancements.
“When players opt into Keno Bonus, they unlock the chance to multiply their winnings by up to ten times, while the Replay option adds another layer of excitement.
“Many players are still unaware of these features, making it vital for staff to start conversations and educate them on the full range of Keno possibilities!”
Mr Harrison said the solid Keno performance at Victorian clubs last financial year laid a strong foundation for continued success in FY26.
“Clubs across Victoria are embracing fresh approaches to elevate the customer experience, and Keno’s rising popularity is playing a key role in that journey,” he said.
“There’s also a wide array of Keno resources available to clubs, from eye-catching point-of-sale materials to engaging promotions, all designed to keep the game front and centre.
“As the new financial year unfolds, Keno is looking forward to celebrating more big wins for Victorian club patrons, and more success stories for the clubs that host them.”
