Mod. Notice Call to Arms - Support the fight against cancer

[Quicky]

Hi all,

The Essendon Board, and now BigFooty as a whole, has been actively involved in promoting the Call to Arms campaign which aims at fighting cancer in men.

I'm sure you all know someone who has been affected by cancer, we have members of this board who have, and we are hoping to get your support for this important cause.

If you can donate towards this charity please do so.

If you donate more than $20 you go into the draw to recieve one of 5 BigFooty social club memberships.

If you wish to donate please read the following information:

Hi,

Following the Essendon Football Club's lead in raising awareness for the Call to Arms campaign, BigFooty is helping raising funds to help support cancer research. The Call to Arms campaign is a major part of the Cancer Council's fundraising efforts each year, and BigFooty is proud to spread the word.

Can you help?

In order to help BigFooty raise its target of $2500 for Call to Arms, visit this thread (http://www.bigfooty.com/forum/showthread.php?t=738930) and follow the instructions on how to donate.

Get a reward!

As an added incentive, BigFooty is offering 5 Platinum BigFooty Supporters Club (BFSC) memberships to 5 posters who donate $20 or more, chosen at random. Simply follow the instructions in the thread above, and support this great cause to be in with a chance to score a BFSC membership.

Please consider taking the time to donate to this most worthy of causes.

Regards,
Ben the Gooner and The BigFooty Team

Hey all,

Just an update on the Call to Arms campaign.

We are still yet to have a single donation from a Collingwood board member. I know many of you will be spending good money during Grand Final week - it might be a good gesture to send some of it towards a worthy campaign.

As an incentive the first poster to donate $20 from the teams that havn't yet donated will gets a free BFSC.

Thanks everyone,
Quicky.

As Quicky said, the first Collingwood fan to donate gets a free BFSC.

We're making one last push to get to the $2500 target by this Friday, so if you've got a bit of money to spare, please consider giving it to this most worth cause.

The incentives above are still on offer.

I received a PM from muzzy last week, and told him that Chief was the man to talk to.

I haven't heard from either Chief or muzzy since then.
