Boards Olympics - Charity fundraiser.

Flukey

This could be suitable for here, but I am posting it in Events too.

Arising out of the Boards Beers on Saturday night, an idea of having some of the GAA people play some of the Soccer people in some sort of match has taken root. As a result of a suggestion of mine, we are also thinking of doing it for charity, as I am trying to raise some for a charity that I am going to be doing some work for later this year. See my signature. I am going to Malawi in Africa at the end of October for two weeks to teach computer courses for an Irish-based and sport-related charity. The charity is Playing for Life and the specific project I will be involved in is this one in Zomba in Malawi. The charity has connections to both the FAI and the GAA, as well as other sports. I depart on October 30th, and I am meant to have as much of the €5500 that I have to raise by the end of September. I have about €1400 so far.

If anyone can help in any way, please contact me, as every euro helps. I have set up an online page that you can donate to by credit card, which you can access through my signature. This is the poster I was sent, and I have other documentation to prove the legitimacy of this:


I've been thinking that maybe we could extend this and get other forums and posters involved. We could have a "Boards Olympics" involving different games and sports. We could even get the media to report on it. Good PR for Boards and the charity. If it goes well, we could do it regularly for various charities. I've been looking for a novel way to raise funds. Something along these lines might just be it. So Mods, is it a runner?

Ill make a donation gladly.

As I mentioned in the other thread, the B Team could be of aid here?
