Chilli Red Posted May 20, 2009 Share Posted May 20, 2009 Charity Raffle of the Century As some of you may already know, Tony’s Dad, Curly, lost his battle with Cancer last week. It has been a tough time for everyone but his final hours were made so much more comfortable, by the completely dedicated nurses and staff at the Woking Hospice. I know this is something that has touched a lot of people on this forum and I think they would all agree that hospice staff that care for terminally ill patients deserve medals. We have decided that we would like to try and give something back and thought maybe we could hold a small raffle with the prize of a Carbon Fibre Strut Brace. I ran this idea by Martinmac at the Wales meet and before I knew it he had rallied the Admin Team, MODs and Traders together to see if they would like to help us raise even more money. Traders and donators - I can only say that the level of generousity is an absolute credit to you guys. Curly would be so chuffed. He loved Tony’s car and never missed a MOD day. He was always amazed at how much time and love you all spent on your cars. So this seems a fitting tribute to him. I am extremely proud to present IN MEMORY OF CURLY – THE WOKING HOSPICE CHARITY RAFFLE Tickets are £1 each, you may buy as many or as few as you wish. Payment can be made here: http://www.justgiving.com/sarahparkinson7. Please use your forum name on donation so that I know who to assign the raffle numbers to. When you have paid your name will be added to the list next to your raffle draw number. The draw will be made by one of the http://www.350z-uk.com team. As the winners are announced, each will be allowed to choose their prize before the next one is drawn. PRIZES ARE Carbon Fibre/GT Spec Strut Brace - your choice Carbon Fibre intake vent Supplied by CS £30 megs voucher Supplied by Andy Nismo V1 spoiler Supplied by EPRacing £50 voucher Supplied by Race Valeting 5ltr of Silkolene Pro Supplied by Oilman carbon strut bar coverings and the door switch covers Supplied by P15ULT CF sill covers Supplied by an anonomous contributor 350z-uk.com fleece or hoodie Supplied by Martinmac some CF bits - tba Supplied by M350ZB $50 voucher Donated by Adam fro Z1 auto Swissvax style brushes Donated by Envy Valeting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

martinmac Posted May 20, 2009 Share Posted May 20, 2009 A very nice post Sarah. Always happy to help out such a worthy cause. Hospice do a fantastic job at a very painful time. Also worth mentioning the tax implication of the Justgiving service, remember to tick the gift aid box. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

martinmac Posted May 20, 2009 Share Posted May 20, 2009 It would seem that ticking the raffle ticket options invalidates gift aid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chilli Red Posted May 20, 2009 Author Share Posted May 20, 2009 It would seem that ticking the raffle ticket options invalidates gift aid Don't tick it then. Seems to be adding gift aid to the account. Thanks to everyone who has bought already Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maccaman Posted May 20, 2009 Share Posted May 20, 2009 My thoughts are with you both at this sad time. Losing a parent is very traumatic. Will be buying tickets as the staff at Hospices do such a fantastic job. We used to have a yearly charity football match which was in aid of our local hospice.
