Hello fellow RL Forum Members I'm sure that most would of heard about this charity, and most would of heard of Stanley Rangers .
Well beginning at the end of July a series of special events including galas will be taking place involving all the year groups from 8s upwards.
The main idea Stanley will change their kit for this one off event and like Oldham last year will play in Pink/Lilac .
these kits are not cheap as you can imagine so this is another begging bowl appeal to try to fund the under 9s kit and under 11s (i have chosen these 2 year groups as many off the users of wakey RLFans have kids in these 2 groups)
sponsors can be bought for shirts and shorts but time is running out as the kits will have to be made soon.
any other ideas greatly welcome and this will get attention from all media corners ie local papers,RL Publications, Local News and rumour as it SKY tv and maybe Boots n All.

I think the fact that boys of theses ages are prepared to wear "girly" shirts for a good cause is commendable and this should be an excellent event.

remember if you don't know some poor person who as or is suffering from breast cancer the likelihoods are you will one day.

Events like this can help to provide better lives for suffers and help detect the signs earlier witch can lead to better recovery . and maybe just one day help prevent this cruel and terrible condition from affecting ones we love.

any offers/ideas p m me .

these gala days are going to be a great success, the lads are all geared up for playing in the pink strip but find sponsor are trickie at the moment with companies watching their money, as far as I'm aware they can get tax relief? not sure how it works tho,
I've lost one sister to bowel cancer, and my other sister has gone through breast cancer and his been given the all clear, she looking forward to come and watch our lewis play in july

These events are there to raise money for the charity, and the whole club need to be commended for this initiative. The stanley club will be the first amateur club in the UK to play the full season in the kits from under 8's to open age, so well done and good luck to all

yes the club needs a big hand for this IMHO, makes me 101% assured my kids are at a very good club indeed

Have you tried going to the media to get publicity to try find a sponsor?

some already , but every age group needs to fund sponsorship and that's a lot of groups

I've tried touchline, real radio through flipper, I hope he can manage to convince them, bit harsh me asking someone else to ask for me but he should know who to ask, I would be running round in circles not knowing who to ask, my loved one ask her bank but that has found too many obstacles that will allow them to help,
its not so easy to find them, I keep trying got some more that may help

Mcdonalds/ Burger King have budgets set aside for juniors, whatever the hobby/sport

Well beginning at the end of July a series of special events including galas will be taking place involving all the year groups from 8s upwards.

The missus:
Our Gala Fun Day will be in May hopefully!!! will confirm the date later
Each age-group are selling raffle tickets at £10 each, the winner of each age-group will get the main sponsor on the front or back of the shirt - whichever is your preference
U10's & U12's winners will also be presented with a framed shirt
Any-one interested should contact the Club as you have to be in it to win it - £90 and you could have a chance at having your company or name on the front of all the age-groups shirts
What a great cause too
U10's

thanks for that gahan, I have phoned and there may be a possibility

Is there a actual figure of what the shirts will cost mate then i can ask about trying to get something for you

still sorting out the finer details but we are looking at least 500 quid a kit , although donations could be made in all other ways eg donating the tea and coffee to buying sponsorship on kits programmes and lots of other things. i have been unable to get to the club this week but snowie kind of motivated me to start the ball rolling. Im sure you will be packed with ideas and i have lots of time on my hands at the moment. I have read about the raffle tickets and have not herd this yet but a fab idea .

the under 11s have decided to go £50 for each arm and the shorts side £100 for the back and £200 for the front, totaling £500, but that doesn't cover all teams just for the year that you sponsor

How many teams are there mate



I will ask a certain Club im involved with if we can give something for you

8s,9s,10s,11s, 2teams 12s ,13s 14s ....18s open age

so you can see what we are up against, it would be fair to concentrate on one club.

watch this space for other info , one major way everyone can help is turn up to events.

not sure they will trust me with the bar-bar-cue last time at eastmoor I set it on fire

did some cooking that day I tell you

The logo on the raffle tickets is 'TOUGH ENOUGH TO WEAR PINK' which I thinks says a lot
There should be lots of pink stuff to buy at each of the Fun/Gala Days including beanies with and without the Stanley badge on with our logo

had three positive responses for sponsorship, one local and two national, still awaiting a further two to come back to me

would be great if they all come in

big thanks to gahan for the pledge good to know the spirit of RL Fans of all clubs is still strong as ever

Indeed Chris but Meadowhall

Awsome this. The event will be covered by Sky on one of their walk about features on Boots n all, and some of the regions press are interested too.
The club have asked every team to match the amount needed to buy the kit, so the charity will get at least 5K plus the money raised at the events.

wow and here's me just say we might get a minute or so on the local news and press

hope I can push the ones interested

after high hopes of getting a sponsor for our shirts, talking to their marketing dept at subway they don't give money to sponsor advertising

but will turn up on the day and hand out leaflets and put up banners



I'm I reading this wrong or have they got a cheek to come to our event and get free advertising,



anyway would like to thank flipper who has managed to get us some free air time on touchline from what I have been told, and martin who has been given the responsibility to push the event,

well done chaps

under 9s are selling raffle tickets at £10 a throw , the main prize being sponsorship of the kits. So for a tenner you could end up having your name splashed all over the media. Any takers????????

Glad you bumped this, i aint rung that woman

Snowie, tell Subway to take a flying jump
