BACKGROUND
Last year Charlton supporters flooded the phone lines to help the Community Trust’s
CHARLTON UPBEATS initiative win a national competition to receive funding.
CHARLTON UPBEATS is a weekly multi-activity programme organised by the Trust, which helps provide activities for local children with Down’s Syndrome. More than 100 youngsters have participated and benefited in the last year.
A year on, it is unlikely this fantastic scheme can continue too far into the future unless additional funding can be raised.
More information on Charlton Upbeats can be found here:
http://www.cafc.co.uk/newsview.ink?nid=36333&newstype=cHOW CAN WE RAISE FUNDING?CHARLTON LIFE are today launching a unique on-line raffle to assist the Trust in trying to raise the funds to cover the program.
Supporters are asked to make a donation via the JustGiving page listed below, and the donation can be for as much or as little as you wish.
If however you donate a minimum £25, your name will be entered into a raffle to win one of our fantastic prizes below. For every £25 increment, you will be entered again into the raffle ie. donate £25 = name entered once, donate £100 = name entered four times.
If you can only afford to donate £10, then thank you very much for your donation but you will not be submitted for the raffle.WHAT PRIZES CAN BE WON?

Reading the above is there anything obvious you can see that we haven't covered ??
are you going to blog it as well?
maybe add a link explaining the charlton upbeats further, for those who haven't got a clue and possibly lose the 'let's try' and just say - 'let's reignite'
but i think it looks very good.
Glenn, just thought of 1 more thing. Include. At. Very bottom contact email. For. More. Info about. The. Scheme. And also if people want. Tickets for. The. Dinner
Sorry. Phone. Is. Knackered
I say that because i think the Trust is going to launch a similar 'official' JG page at some point, so i think its best to clarity that this is seperate.
do you want to copy and paste and start a new thread
fingers crossed we get a good response
Will delete our posts and then change the category...
If you can, please email or Fbook a link to this page to anyone you feel may be interested in supporting this.
Just say the Che Hales is framed replica and one of only 6 ever produced. Killer, the Club have one each.
