A couple of weeks ago I was lucky enough to win the two ten year memberships to the club as part of the duracell footy show thing.I have decided to have the memberships converted to a concession membership for my mum and two Buckley Brigade memberships to be donated to two kids every year.What I am not sure of is who to donate them to - should it be an Aboriginal inner city team or what!!! I can't have kids so I need to do my bit for the membership numbers - I really would appreciate any advice (constructive!!!) before I arrange this with the club. I don't know anything about junior clubs etc so hope someone can provide the right advice.

Several of the Collingwood boys are involved with spinal unit wards where accident victims are treated. Perhasp if you contact the club something could be incorporated with that to go along with the TAC stuff. As it is a children pass there would have to be someone to accompany them in most instances so that issue would need to be looked at.
What a great thing you are doing, shows the Collingwood family is truly one.

What an absolutely brilliant idea. How about the "Make a wish Foundation" they look after kids with terminal diseases. You are a very compassionate person and we need more people like you in this world. Well done

That is one of the best things I have heard.
You could either give them to a charity like the make a wish foundation (previously mentioned) or even SIDS, They could auction them and use the proceeds for furhter research.

I would suggest, Make a Wish Foundation or the Peter McCallum institute.

This truly is a beautiful gesture. Please be sure to contact Eddie and the club about it....do the handover on the footy show and get the recognition you deserve on tv.
Reading things like this brightens up my otherwise dull day.

My oxygen is Collingwood. Without it I die.

I was going to suggest "The Starlight Foundation," but speak to Eddie about it all first,as he will be able to lead you in the right direction.

Doesn't Collingwood have a group of charities that they support?? I think I remember reading something about it maybe on the official CFC website??

Maybe on contacting the club with respect to donating the memberships you could find out what charities The Club supports?

Whatever charity you decide to support with your memberships it is a wonderful act that you are doing there bucks4ever. Well done.

Go Pies! You are doing us Proud.

firstly thank you everyone for your kind words I have contacted the club and hope they will get back to me with something they feel is appropriate. I just want to see a couple of kids get the "feeling" that comes with being a member of the Collingwood family Cheers all!
