***Kicks for Kids Season Ticket Fundraiser Season 17-18***44 Tickets Purchased***

MCFB 0907.jpg

Above is a picture from Lewis' testimonial on Sunday, where his son's football team played on the pitch at half-time (above in blue/yellow) whilst the other players were children from the Multi Cultural Family Base (MCFB), who receive Kicks for Kids STs. The opportunity came about as Lewis has very generously offered part of the proceeds from his testimonial year to Leith Links and we were asked if we knew of any other children who would like to take part. The MCFB group consisted of Black Ethnic Minority (BME) children (including Syrian refugees) plus local children so to say they were excited is an understatement AND they also got new strips for the occasion so greatly enjoyed the day


For those who don't know, Leith Links was formed in 2013 to collect donations so Kicks for Kids season tickets can be purchased and allocated to children's groups and clubs. Since then, over £50,000 has been donated by our wonderful support and 589 KfK STs have been purchased meaning many more children - who wouldn't normally be able to go to games - have attended Easter Road and joined our family

It's now the time for the upcoming season's fundraiser and if you would like to contribute - and no matter how small the donation is - it will be gratefully received. Payment can be made on a one-off basis by PayPal (leithlinks@live.co.uk), bank transfer, cheque, cash or if you are able, by monthly Standing Order or Direct Debit. For example, £6.25 per month will purchase one Kicks for Kids season ticket outright but any amount is welcome. Please PM me or email leithlinks@live.co.uk for more details. Contributors can also nominate specific *groups who they think would benefit from tickets and Hibs will contact them.

There are many people I would like to thank for their support as this wonderful success story would be nothing without our fans. To everyone who has provided assistance, items for auction, financial backing or words of encouragement - I am extremely grateful. Thanks to everyone on hibs.net also for allowing the fundraisers and for continually backing the cause GGTTH.

*Thank you letters from the charities and groups who have previously received KfK tickets can be found here: http://leithlinks4kids.com/social-media/feedback/


***After a meeting with Hibs a couple of weeks ago, I was advised that there might be a limit on the number of KfK STs that can be purchased this season and therefore, aiming for a maximum of 200 tickets - at the moment - may be a good compromise until Hibs confirm the details. If additional funds are received, the donations could be used for one-off match tickets or Hibs scarves etc but I will keep everyone updated of how near (or far!) we are from that number and take it from there***

[Peevemor]

This might be a stupid question but I can't find the answer on the Hibs website on my mobile, how much is a child season ticket? I'm assuming £75 if £6.25 p/m buys one ticket? I'd rather just give the money up front than pay in instalments.

Hi, sorry for the late reply. Each KfK ST costs £75, whether it's for an adult or child

Thanks very much for your interest and GGTTH.

£150 has been received this afternoon alone, taking us up to 143 KfK STs

Another thing .

Suzy has raised 50k and I'm also sure that this site must have donated the same over the years or thereabouts.

That is utterly fantastic and the people involved should be congratulated.

Very impressive .
Well done to all involved.

Hi FS,

Been following with interest at the overwhelming generosity from our fans yet again.

Out of curiosity, if we have bought 145 KfK season tickets, why has the title only to show 23? I'm sure I'm missing something but can't quite see what lol.

I'll be donating on payday anyway as it's an outstanding cause.

Absolutely

The thread title shows the number of tickets bought by .netters, as this was the way it was done when .net ran their own KfK fundraiser. I kept it up as I think it's nice for posters to see how many are bought by 'us' but in the body of the message I like to update everyone on the total number to show, yet again, just how generous our fans are

[Itsnoteasy]

Please PM me bank details FS.
My 79yr old father recently passed away & I asked mourners to donate for KFK.
I am delighted that there generosity will allow for me to give you the funds for 3 season tickets
