My sister is planning a fundraiser in aid of my mother, and cancer research, on the 19th May.

My mam unfortunately has terminal cancer, which is obviously absolutely devastating but we're determined to do our best for her in the remaining time she has, it could be years, we don't know, but we want to do new things, and my sister is running for her in the GNR.

We're having an auction at the do. We've had a lot of prizes donated to us, some very good ones. A plane ride, sports massages, memberships for leisure centres, 2 fit camp passes worth £100 each, and a lot more.

I had an idea of donating a Sunderland away ticket for next season, obviously not knowing when it is, but would people bid on it? Would you? Obviously for many, they'd love to go, but just can't get a ticket. But if I can guarantee a ticket, even sacrificing mine if I had to, which is unlikely, would people bid on it?

We're also trying to get in touch with NUFC to get a signed shirt, and with any luck, ive heard we can get players for about 15 minutes or so, or even Pardew, who does a load of charity work. We've sent letters and with any luck we'll get replies, but does anyone have any other ideas of how we could get in touch? NUFC have been poor in the past for things like this, but we're hoping if we keep trying to get in touch then we may get somewhere.

Does anyone have any ideas of places we could try to get things donated, or even discounted price so we have things to go in the raffle?

Cheers for any responses.

Sorry to here this news mate.

Here is my idea:

Tweet newcastle players all the time and get your mates to. Ask them to retweet a link to your page. Also ask people like joey barton who are active on twitter.

If OP agrees then if you cant donate then people on here who have twitter can tweet these guys.
 
Didn't get my three pre game pints so donated that. The price of a pint per person would go a hell of a long way without making anybody short.

Target raised :)

Thanks a lot everyone, means a lot. She was very grateful, hope I'm doing her proud.

Hopefully it'll go beyond what you originally wanted. It's for a very good cause and there's always somebody out there that needs help.

I'm sure your mum would be proud of what you've done so far, not just for what you did for her, but what you're doing for others too.
 
How about a sponsored repping? Every point a person gets pays 10p into the pot. It should be easy to sorts and Im sure lots of other boards would get involved
