#CharityTuesday

Happy Tuesday Everyone

Eeeeeeekkkkkk 2 weeks till our Raffle prize draw and 2 weeks 3 days till the big day ...PANIC

Actually I'm a little worried as things are going great guns at the minute with some fabulous raffle prizes donated and me being left with no tickets to sell although I know that I do have people selling who have some.  If you left it to the last minute to buy don't panic I can get you some.  4000 raffle tickets I'm so amazed Thank You to everyone again who bought any and Thanks to those that sold them on my behalf.

Speaking of Thanks I have to say Thank You to my little brother Daniel and his fabulous friends for sourcing some absolutely superb Auction Items.  Things were looking a bit thin on the ground but he has come up trumps.

My aim this year with the auction is to reach out to those not attending on the night as well, the prizes are money cannot purchase anywhere but here items and to make the most of them I want to offer everyone the chance to bid on them.

Lot #1
A Dedicated and Autographed Golf Glove from a European Tour Golfer of your
choice!
This is a once in a lifetime opportunity for you to own a 'match used'
glove from your European Tour or European Ryder Cup Hero.  Bid generously
and you will be able to choose which player will dedicate and sign his
glove to you or a person of your choice.  The signed glove will come with
an official action picture of the player.  Please note the player must be
a member of the European Tour and time will be required to personally
acquire the item on your behalf.
Kindly donated by the Tour Players Foundation, the charitable foundation
of the European Tour.



Lot #2










Signed England Saxons shirt by Rob Webber. The Current England International. The Shirt was worn in the Churchill Cup so is an actual England squad shirt not a replica!










Lot #3

You can see from the picture they are dirty at the fingers so they are not pristine just out of the packet gloves.

#Charity Tuesday

So today is Tuesday and as an avid Tweeter I shall follow their lead and make every Tuesday #CharityTuesday

I'm a staunch supporter of The Foundation for the Study of Infant Deaths (FSID) and every Tuesday I shall keep you abreast of my fundraising efforts for my event Alexander's Charity Ball.

Alexander's Charity Ball was created in memory of my Son Alexander whom we lost to Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (Cot Death) on 9th February 2007.  This is the day a little piece of my heart went to heaven leaving me forever on this earth with a broken heart.


Our 2nd Annual Charity Ball is being held once again at the Fantabulous Tankerlsey Manor Hotel on Friday 10th February 2012 with 200 guests in attendance on the night being wined, dined and entertained.  All our tickets have sold which is amazing but as part of the event I hold a Raffle and Auction to boost the funds.  This years Giltz and Glam raffle will be drawn on the 7th February 2012 and I have 4000 tickets to sell.  The prizes are brilliant and I'd like to say a huge thanks to all that have donated so far, the details of which are over on the Alexander's Charity Ball Website Alexander's Charity Ball
Tickets can be purchased from me so please drop me an email and I'll gladly send you some or if you are a business that would like to donate a prize please get in touch Email

My aim in fundraising is to keep Alexander as a big part of our family, keeping him fresh in our minds but without all the sadness that surrounds his death.  We are sad don't get me wrong but there are 6 others in our family who we must carry on and live a 'normal' life for.  Fundraising allows us to live and laugh like other families but as we talk often about Alexander he will never truly be gone.
