Popular Post Zetland 5,830 Posted July 31, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted July 31, 2021 “The Champions Erskine Fund” – Season 2021/22 – Annual Fundraiser!!! Welcome to our New Season Annual Fundraiser, supporting Erskine Homes, Broxi our BRAVEHOUND dug and Hollybush House (Combat Stress Treatment Centre, Ayrshire). We start this Season, in our rightful place, as Champions and what a boost that has been to our spirits! We hope we find you, our Loyal Members, in good health and Ready to go! If you are not already a Loyal Fund Member, we hope you are also in good health and Ready to go and hopefully Ready to become a Loyal Fund Member too, and help us give our Veterans something to cheer about in this monumental season. Those of you who have supported the Fund for years know that it is a voluntary fundraising group funded by RM Member donations (and other occasional fundraising activities). Over the years, we have lost count of how much we've raised (and spent wisely!) but for sure, it's WELL over a hundred thousand pounds. It's definitely made a huge difference; and all we need from you to keep it rolling is your Annual Membership fee set at £10 this Season. The Fund's primary role is to provide Recreational Treats directly to the Residents of Erskine Veterans Care Homes. We do this by providing Rangers Season Tickets, Match Tickets, Hospitality Tickets, Stadium Tours, Argyle Restaurant Lunches, Rangers TV subscriptions, Rangers merchandise and clothing, and anything else that makes life just that wee bit more special for some very special people. Doing all of this has the double bonus of putting a lot of that money directly back into The Club, and keeping those Blue Pounds Blue! Something that is important to every Bear. Season membership of The Fund is a one-off minimum donation of £10 but if you're feeling a bit flush, you can donate as much as you want!!! That's it. You don't need to donate every month or anything like that. In November, we will run a mid-season fundraiser, but you don't need to donate to that, or to the end-of season fundraiser. Most people DO donate something whenever @govanblue pops up with a new fundraiser – I guess that's because they have a couple of quid spare, and they approve of what we're doing with it. But it's always optional. The Bank and PayPal details for donations have not changed but anyone needing help just needs to send me, @Zetland, a PM and I can provide an update. Whichever method of payment, do please remember to add your RM Username as a reference for @govanblue. Finally, PayPal always requires Friends & Family to avoid Fees being deducted from your donation! (Please, please use Friends & Family!). Have a great Season Bears and as always Thanks to each and everyone of you for your Support!!! dougie76, 16BlueSherbert90, North Antrim Loyal and 10 others 13 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zetland 5,830 Posted July 31, 2021 Author Share Posted July 31, 2021 Erskine Park’s “Report to HQ” VE Day Celebrations: “We had a fantastic day with the old war songs being sung in every house with great enthusiasm. You will note the images of the entertainers, 2 questionable land girls who normally call themselves the Blonde Bomb Shells or Blonde Bomb Sites as they are affectionately known in some quarters. Our day was sponsored by RangersMedia Erskine Fund Forum members who were responsible for the salmon & spam sandwiches, loads of cupcakes and plenty drams. This group have also renewed our season tickets at Rangers FC once again, ensuring that our veterans can follow their team when restrictions are lifted. They regularly sponsor fish supper nights in our home and are currently sourcing goodies for our Ration tins which are a great hit at our D Day celebrations each year. govanblue, who heads up the Fund, also advised me that they are purchasing regular Rangers lotto tickets for our home so fingers crossed... Please give them a huge thankyou on social media on behalf of all our veterans, their families and staff at Erskine Park Home.” blueballss, 32Blue and dougie76 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
