Membership renewals will be in the mail before we know it so it's time to start raising money for next year's sponsorships.
As most would be aware last year we raised approx $15,000 (without looking up exact figures) towards getting an extra rookie to the club as well as raising enough money to sponsor 6 players.
I've discussed our fundraising with Steven Wright. It would be better to combine fundraising/player sponsorship instead of having people donating for 2 specific purposes. The money we raise will sponsor players but be used for a specific purpose rather than general revenue.
The club are unsure about the rookie situation as yet because Greg has been away on trade and draft duties. If they decide they need help in regard to rookies that's where the money will go. If not there are 2 options.
One is to use it towards the Tigers in the Community charity work. The club are just about to appoint a person full time to run the Foundation so it should grow significantly next year, as will the needs to raise money for it.
The other could be to talk to Terry and find out a piece of equipment to benefit the team.
To enable everyone to participate there is no limit to the amount donated, it can be as big or small as you like.
For each $10 donated a ticket will be allocated in a draw to attend the Sportsman’s Dinner, Locker viewing evening and signed player photos and badges.
This post will be edited to keep an updated list of people who've contributed and overall $$ raised.
Anyone wishing to contribute please contact me for bank account details for payment.
