Anyways, this is a great initiative. Just wondering: can spectators make a donation on the day with a card, or is it cash only? Soz. Just noticed your original post… cash only. All good 👍🏽 Edited February 4 by Ghostwriter 1 1 Quote
scotty21_ 23 Posted February 4 Author Posted February 4 Yeah cash only on the day. I normally take the cash donations to the bank and then make the payment to the donation page. Worst case I am happy for someone to PayID me. 1 Quote
layzie 34,528 Posted February 4 Posted February 4 Yeah I remember these, possibly one at Glenferrie Oval back in the day? Great to hear they're being done for charity. Would love a crack but although I'm in category 3 with 'any sort of footy background', my spondy injury probably puts me at -3. Happy to chuck a donation in though 🙂 1 1 Quote

Great to hear they're being done for charity Expand Yeah, we used to be able to do a full day round robin back in the day. As for the charity game, It started off as what we thought would be a one and done as a fundraising effort for the black summer fires but morphed into a yearly thing. The year we did fightmnd was be far our most successful one. I do like to rotate the beneficiary but I think we will work with them again in future. Edited February 4 by scotty21_ 1 2 Quote
