Yellow Fever Collection for John Alder and Liam Sweeny Memorial fund

Hi, as discussed here:

http://www.yellowfever.co.nz/categories/wellington-phoenix-discussion/topics/mh17-football-united-rip-john-alder-and-liam-sweeney?page=2#post_985100

I have set up a givealittle.co.nz page where Yellow Fever fans can make a donation which the Yellow Fever will then forward on on our behalf to the offical memorial fund/charities nominated by the families of John Alder and Liam Sweeney.

You can make a donation here:

https://www.givealittle.co.nz/member/bwtcf/project/YellowFeverToonMemorial/donate

At the time of this post $190.00 had been raised.

It's seems Liam's dad was a referee in the UK so I've chucked my $20 in.

Shared on SFCU if you don't mind.

Well done for organising this. Donated.

Just a thought Smithy or others close to the action...

Any chance of organising a signed Nix Shirt for the Alder and Sweeny families ?

Not at all. (and fixed)

$265 raised so far.

Awesome. This is the sort of gesture that makes me very proud of you all.

Ps: One day sooner than later, I am going to smash this touch screen keyboard.......

Great idea, if you can organise the shirts I can get the signatures?

$290.00

Good effort

I have written to club to see if they can provide two strips. If they can not I will look at sone other possibilities.

Good work all round. 

I'd be happy to chip in to bwtcf's fund or to SJ if he needs to raise shekels for the shirts. Please post ifyou need help sj.

Thought about the NZmags, but it's nice that YF/nix are doing something.

Howay the fever!

Awesome work Fever!

Will let you know what response is Junior

Current total?

$290

Come on guys, get behind this, it's a worthy cause.

Can this be put on Fever Twatter & Book farce?. Greater potential audience.

Bumpity Bump

$300

Done. Thanks for organising this mate, good on you.

$360

Quick question - what are we planning on doing with the funds raised? Are we going to use it to do something in memorial on Saturday at the game?

I thought we would donate it to the charities nominated by their families

Sounds a great idea to me.

We've collected $380.

As posted by Warwick hunt in another thread:

So, I did a google search for Marie Curie Hospice in Newcastle and for the Sir Bobby Robson Foundation. The later had an article about the John and Liam appeal... and following ti took me to this page:

Do you think I should just donate the $380 to that fund, or should I donate $190 to each of the Marie Currie Hospice and the Booby Robson Foundation directly?

As a contributer, I am happy with what ever decision you come to. That you made the effort is awesome.

$460 now...

$500 is the new total...

the money from givealittle was deposited into my account today. We raised $500. At today's exchange rate that's 252.139 GBP.

I have just made a donation of 252 GBP with the following message:

Great work.

Good stuff bwtcf. Thanks for organising the collection.

Sincerest thaks for doing this.

This just in...

And scroll down a little, on the right hand side there frame showing recent or highest (toggle) donations... see the red rectangle below:

Nice.

I tried to signup to log on to their forum to post but it doesn't accept signups from a gmail account, and that's the only one I have. Bugger.

There's some nice comments in that thread. Go and have a read. Someone mentioned the shirts off with ten minutes to go tradition... Sunderland fans wanting links to pics. Maybe post some of the best of here so if they check this thread out they don't need to go digging elsewhere?
