Fundraising
On this page we feature activities being undertaken by people/Companies who are raising money for us. We will also maintain a list of companies who have supported us during the year. Of course, there are many more individuals who make personal donations, and if possible, we will feature some of these as well. Click here for the list of Corporate Donors.
We have been selected by ASDA at The Jewel, Edinburgh, to be their Charity In The Community. They are raising fund through various methods - SSCB charity boxes placed at the end of each check out, daily table sales, and there was also a raffle (a giant "Happy Feet Penguin" ! Asda are continually mentioning SSCB over their tannoy system too !
They are placing a noticed board in their foyer with a totaliser, so that customers can see how much money they are raising. They have advised us that they would like to raise enough money for 4 incubators. We obviously thank them for thinking of us and any amount they raise will be gratefully accepted. Thanks obviously go to their customers as well who are giving so generously to our cause.
Here are a few items from fundraisers during 2007, taking part in various events (and some older ones !) :
JogScotland aims to get us all outdoors and become more active. John Smith, Moira Nicol and Andrew Jeske are three JogScotland Leaders who work at the Royal Infirmary site, and they are challenging themselves to run all of the 2007 Co-op Challenges ! They will be asking their colleagues, neighbours, friends and family to support them in this effort through sponsorship in aid of SSCB. The Challenges are 5 kilometre runs around Scotland and include two on one evening ! The runs take place in : Dryburgh, Glasgow, Edinburgh, Elgin & Tarvis over a 3 week period during June and July. Good luck to them during their challenge.
We are well used ot having walkers and runners doing things for us, but not so oftern do we get cyclists. Allan Ryan from Wallyford is taking part in Etape Caledonia on 24 June 2007, starting and finishing in Pitlochry. It is not for the faint hearted as the course is 130km / 81miles ! Best wishes to Allan for this event. (www.etapecaledonia.co.uk)
We have received a donation of £500 from Scotia Gas Networks plc through a scheme to emphasise safety throughout their staff. Derek Dargo (a SSCB member) put forward our name as the recipients of the £500 that came as the prize for the successful team/man.
We recieved a letter with a cheque for £1,000 from the Trustees of the MacLay Murray & Spens Charitable Trust. This was very unexpected, and a very pleasant surprise.
