The Fighting Tiger Fund - "Giving 110%" [merged]

[one-eyed]

RFCO said the number attending is closer to 200

That's disappointing then as when the gala was first announced they said it was for over 300

I guess it depends on how much is being donated by each.

200 individuals x an average of $5000 is $1m

Add say 50 companies owned by Tiger supporters x $20k is another $1m

If we can find a few big end of towners willing to fork out for the top donation category (I think it was $81k+) then combined with the approx.  $300k we have already would push the total tally up near $3m by the end of the night.

If you take 200 "fans" add the entire playing list (46), all the staff, board, sponsors, former players you easily get 350.

I know the new social club is big but we don't want to be sitting on each others lap, though I am sure there is a few blokes I know who wouldn't mind having Pia Mill sitting on their laps 

Looking forward to it

dont blame you WP, id be looking forward to having pia miller sitting in my lap too, although she would probably get stuck there.

That makes sense

I don't want to be a spoil sport but it's the worst timing in the history of time to have this fundraiser.

Don't kill me for saying this but I think it's the worst time to be having a 6 million debt demolition when there are other world events which would be more worthy of a cash injection.

now that I've got it off my chest I'm sure these people attending have probably contributed in some way to many worthy charities.

I am not condemning anyone just highlighting the bad timing of the event

No one can plan for natural disasters.

As someone has said before club cant control timing of natural events but I agree it could hurt donations.
Interesting they are holding it on St Patrick's day but I guess this event isn't an open invite so the people that are going probably don't care for St Patrick's day. Anyways hopefully tonight is a success and we knock some of the debt off.

Construction workers were still at it today so the new complex isn't totally finished yet.

Can expect Damian Barrett to say that the tax department is looking at the dealings of moneys raised for  the Fighting Fund and that is for tax debt that RFC has neglected to pay.
Hutchy will have dust on him from the bins having emptied vaccum cleaner dust from the filter all over him trying to get to the cheese from the pizza box somewhere near the bottom.

Will expect Ricky Nixon decision to take up most of the first half hour of proceedings.

Whaaaaaaaat!

I wonder if they'll keep the running total under wraps on the night until the end (we might raise more than $6 mill!)
