Maybe a raffle would raise as much as any other way.If the tickets were cheap enough it would generate a fair bit of interest.The only downside is that hassle of arranging it all.
Or a secret auction,but you'd only get the one pile of money for that idea. |  | | |

My wife raises money for the Special School my son attends and last year we were given a signed Norwich City shirt - we put it up for secret auction but were disappointed. We would definitely go for a raffle next time.
PS its amazing how low some of the bids were I know it were only Narrrrrwidge but £5.00?!!! | | | |

Probably because they were counting on their fingers.
No, wait, that's six. Sorry. |  |

Is it possible to see a picture of the shirt as proof?I don't mind buying a book of raffle tickets and selling them on match days around the pubs around the area on match days.
I think you'd sell at least 500 at possibly £2 a ticket.That would raise at least £1000.Maybe more if there was enough interest. | | | |

Or just send your money in unmarked notes to an address in Nigeria. | |

Hi Yes I have pictures of this shirt including one of it being presented by the manager of your club shop I dont know how to post photo's on here but if anyone does and message me the mobile number I can send you the photos .If you have Facebook join The Beautiful Game and you can see them on there .Another option would be we could sell 59 numbers for £5 or £10 a number when all are sold we could use the next National Lottery Bonus Ball to decide the winner ?? £10 each would make the Charities £590 and id stick my own £10 in to round it up without having a chance of winning so £300 each and I will pay postage ? | | | |

Whichever way you suggest mate.I think we could easily shift 500 tickets rather than try to get qpr fans to part with a tenner each.I'll send you me mobile number via a private message and I normally go oop north quite often in my truck,so it wouldn't be a problem meeting up somewhere. | | | |

Ok mate.It's your shirt,so it's your choice.I'll write to your chosen charities and hopefully get a letter of authority from them in order to raise funds via a raffle.I'll upload the pictures you sent me yesterday,and I'll also get our club involved with maybe a couple of consolation prizes.They should have loads of last year's kit with the name Traore on it that has never been worn that they want rid of.
I will update you when we're ready to start selling,and thanks mate.Hopefully we will raise a stack of cash for the charities,and some lucky bugger will win a signed shirt for a couple of pounds. | | | |

I met up with Stormin tonight and collected the signed shirt from him,so I plan to start selling raffle tickets for it on Saturday for the Preston game and hopefully continue until the Brentford home game on October 28th.
The tickets are priced at £2 each,and at the moment there are 3 prizes.The signed shirt has been donated by Stormin and I've donated a brand new boxed barbecue,and another prize, which I haven't decided on yet.
I will wearing my really old Dennis the menance kit,with the really old badge,and I'll be mooching around outside the ground before and after the next few home games,so feel free to stop me and buy some.
All money collected will be split between his 2 favourite children's charities,Rainbow Hospice for children and young people,and Wishes4kids.
I have e-mailed the club with a request to hold the draw on the pitch at HT during the Brentford match,but failing that,my Nephew is friends with a former player,and he might be able to persuade him to draw the lucky winning tickets in a local pub on the night.
Thank you all in advance for your help and support. | | | |

Ok, well done. For those of us elsewhere unlikely to get the ground in the weeks ahead, can we buy online via Paypal for example? Cheers. |  | | |

The short answer is that I don't know.In the past I've set up a justgiving page so that the money goes directly to the charity concerned,but I'm not sure whether they do donations of £2 effectively.
I find paypal to be a bit of a rip off as they seem to charge to withdraw money to pay somebody else.I would be open to suggestions as to which way to go in order to sell the tickets online. | | | |
| Admin on 14:52 - Aug 18 with 3795 views | Brightonhoop |
Best way I guess would be to use a personal paypal account and people pay on a basis of giving to family/friends so there are no charges going in, and then withdraw to your account allocating tickets of five if some pays £10 for example. There's no cost in transferring a paypal balance to your bank account. | | | |

Thanks for the info.I do have a personal paypal account,but they always seem to charge me if I sell my season ticket via Twickets,so I don't use it very often.
We have 2 months to sort things out,so even a dinosaur like me can sort something out before then.Cheers. | | | |

I don't know about legallity etc but why not set it up as a justgiving page for both charities?
Potentially then, each donation becomes a virtual raffle ticket?
You might even be able to claim gift aid [Post edited 18 Aug 2016 16:33]

It was good to meet you last night mate.Hope it wasn't too late for you day people?
I think it might be better to go for the justgiving option and just send the online ticket money to one charity and then deduct that from the total that would be equal otherwise. | | | |
| Admin on 20:15 - Aug 18 with 3669 views | stowmarketrange |
It's all set up now.The web address is www.justgiving.com/QPRshirt.
If you leave your name when you donate I will write it on the back of each ticket you buy.
All the money goes directly to the charity concerned.
Thanks. | | | |

Great - I will do that tomorrow. Just got it up. Really good cause. Is there a way to give a smaller amount just to give. Like anything from £1 - £5 just because people want to help. That would be effective too because it's not really about winning something, although someone will, it is more about helping kids have a better life. |  |

I think you can add your own amount at whatever level you like above a pound.I will check that tomorrow though. | | | |
