Has anyone got the jumper yet or know when they will arrive? I am planning to give it as a present.

Expected release date is 14th of September.

Have to sell all the space, then get them made.

Wins like yesterday make money

I saw that we have raised 400k at this stage, which is great. I do not think that has taken into account the sales of the jumpers, but I am yet to clarify that with the club. These are tough times for people, so any fundraising is monumental. I am not sure how this stacks up against the fundraising done by other clubs.

I just bought of the limited edition Fuchsia New Era hat from the club website.

Buying merchandise from the club directly also helps a lot.

good call this, will buy something shortly.

would have liked the jumper more if it didnt have the names on it (which defeats the point i know aha)

Winning is the only way...

Really great effort given the circumstances most people are currently facing. 

Thank you to everyone who has donated. Makes me feel less guilty that I can't justify adding to the tally right now.

Noticed today that Proud to Belong, Proud to Give is being auspiced by the Australian Sports Foundation, which provides this fundraising effort with DGR status and would have enabled the club to raise much of the money before the EOFY just gone. Clever.

It's little things like this that makes me think we're pretty well run off field. I guess that's the business acumen at our club.

Nah, I meant more that people always give at the end of the tax year, so it's clever to give them a tax deduction. That's where I try to raise much of my private money as people / corporates in my case, are much more likely to give.

But they'll be able to claim across both tax years.

Gotcha. Give it and get it straight back...

It either hasn't been updated since last week or the donations have dried up considerably! Still showing $514,449.

Hey guys,I only just found out the Dee's will be wearing the late 90s preseason Jumper later on in season but I missed out on getting one:( had one as a kid was always my favourite jumper, do you think the Club will release some more for general sale minus all the names of the people who signed up??

I wonder if people will start asking for money back?

[Adam The God 30,541]

I reckon members might be more inclined to start giving to a Clarkson fund...

I reckon we'll get there.

I'm in fundraising mode myself and it just takes time.

It was always going to be a race for the EOFY and we got half of what we wanted by then, which was a great effort by our supporters.

Reckon at the very least we'll be $150-100k out.
