Leith Links - Over £50,000 Raised

[FranckSuzy]

As it's nearing our fourth anniversary, I'm delighted to advise that we've now smashed the £50,000 mark :thumbsup:

This achievement is testament to our wonderful fans and I can't thank you enough as from that total, 589 Kicks for Kids season tickets have been purchased and many, many children have joined the Hibee family. Donations have ranged from £5-£1,000 and everyone who has helped - in any way - has made this possible :top marks

I'm also meeting with Hibs next week so watch this space for next season's fundraiser and who knows, maybe we'll even beat last season's ST total of 269 :not worth

*As an aside, the Hibees Bounce have started a fundraiser in memory of Shaun McKinley, Big G's son, who sadly passed away last year and so far, over £1,700 has been raised for KfK STs so that total will also be added once it's transferred. GGTTH.

[Gerard]

Excellent news

[frazeHFC]

Amazing effort as always :thumbsup:

[Mr White]

Absolutely outstanding work FS :thumbsup:

[ano hibby]

Brilliant FS. Well done you. An excellent initiative completely in-keeping with our clubs values and roots.
Better get this seasons campaign up & running soon before all the good seats go :)

Edit..did the money from LS testimonial dinner get spent or is that carried forward to this season coming?

And thanks to guys like yourself too :thumbsup:

It's still to come, after the testimonial is played :not worth :flag: Don't think there'll be many tickets left for walk-ups :tee hee:

[Haymaker]

Good work S!

Absolute admiration to you Susan, for stepping up and harnessing all the goodwill and intent that undoubtedly existed and turning it into what it now is.

Entirely in keeping with what this club has always been about.

Fantastic. The organisers of this should be proud of the excellent work they are doing for the community.

[danhibees1875]

What a tremendous achievement from all involved! Well done to everyone and well done to you Susan for being at the fore of it all.

[matty_f]

Well done!

Great effort Susan

Win for the club and win for those able to see the Hibees who maybe wouldn't have been able to otherwise.

What's the cost of a ticket this coming season ?

As far as I know, they're still £75 but I'm meeting Hibs to confirm all the details next week :aok:

[Hibbyradge]

Apologies for ending this sentence with a preposition, :greengrin but how old are the kids you provide tickets for?

i'm wondering if any of them have become dotnet members yet.

On that note, how many are you thinking will be purchased this season? It's such an impressive thing you do. Hoping to donate before the end of June, my daughter is contributing hence the delay.

The children are aged from 5-17 so maybes aye, maybes naw :greengrin

I have enough funds for 88 tickets so far...and that's without a fundraiser on here, the usual summer auction, the money collected on the Bounce, Lewis' testimonial, etc, etc :flag: :not worth

Super work. Well done.

GGTTH.Fantastic achievement . Well done . Is there a limit on number of KFKs tickets? 269 from Leith Links plus those bought by fans directly from club must lead to a significant number of tickets . If there is a limit and it`s passed maybe money given to LL or direct to club for KFK could be used for tickets for less popular matches instead of season tickets .

Great work Suzy, well done.:aok:

Thanks once again, Willie :thumbsup:

I'm meeting with Hibs next week to clarify this exact point and will advise ASAP :aok:

[Nakedmanoncrack]

Do all these tickets get used every week?

[Col2]

When and how can I donate?

:agree: It is monitored as far as possible, with groups given a 'three strikes and you're out' warning for tickets that are not picked up. Also, if a group advises that they cannot use their allocation, Sue McLernon can then allocate them to another organisation for whom demand outweighs supply :aok:


Thanks and done.

Thank you very much and received :thumbsup:
