:welcome:
The Jingle Balls & Naughty Angels Christmas Appeal
in support of Irish Cancer Charities.
This post is to let members know about the appeal & how to access the donation website
The appeal, will run for the month of December, including the 12 days of Christmas, closing on 6th January 2010.
This appeal follows on from a forum post Cancer
in which many members shared their experiences of cancer & others expressed a desire to do something positive for all those affected by Cancer, this appeal is intended to organize a donation from
like minded friends,
all we ask is a small donation, 2 euro (minimum).
There are 4 charities chosen,
Breast Cancer Ireland , The Hospice Association & 2 lesser known charities LauraLynn Sunshine Homes and LARCC
the reason for these 4 is simply;
Breast ... because we love our ladies;
Hospice ... for the support, care & love they provide in the final days to all affected by cancer;
LauraLynn ... in memory of the children affected by cancer;
LARCC ... for being a listening ear .
We hope to raise at least 500 euro for each charity.
If possible please make a small donation to each rather than 1 large donation to one.
On the mycharity website there is a " Sponsor me now" page for each of the organisations & more information about each charity is available there.
This appeal is not solely for members of Swing so please ask your non Swing friends to support the appeal, & via it is also possible to link the these pages to your bebo or facebook pages
Remember to let your friends on this site know about the appeal.
All donations are clearly shown on the donation pages & the donations go directly to the Charities (Jingle Balls & Naughty Angels do not handle any of the money).
to make a donation copy the address into your address bar

To everyone who read this thread, posted a reply or made a donation a BIG THANK YOU, we still need your support to reach our targets.
I would like to thank Piggy & others that have shared their story & also those that offered support to them.
Some ask what has this & some other threads got to do with Swinging?
Absoluting nothing! But it does show we care about our friends.... Even if most of them are virtual friends & it also shows Swingers think about more than sex.
If you are reading this please follow the links to the donation site. For the price of a pack of condoms you can help make a difference.
Folks,
As an ex-sufferer from Cancer, am now cured, I hope despite I still smoke.
Please support this worthy cause, no matter how little you can manage, trust me it all helps, we all know there is a recession on and that we all have too tighten our belts (no pun intended) me included.
Yes, there are numerous charities out there seeking help and yes we all donate on an individual basis.
But lets show our true colours, for the sake of of a few Euro and show your support, too worthy causes.
Happy, proud to support this thread, hence I donated too all four Charities...... Christmas is a time of giving.....
Happylouth xx
Fair play Happy....Your rite most houses are affected by one or more getting the big C. Its an issue that tends to fall away from the radar sometimes, especially devastating for people around this time of year.
I watched my father waste away to a shadow of himself due to this dreaded disease and I held his hand and sang to him as he passed......please support this very worthwhile cause every cent brings us closer to a cure and helps those suffering and their loved ones so much......................
Alan, the kindness of some of those who donated nearly brought me to tears. We have given just a small amout to each charity, but we gave it with love and a big heart xxxxx
Well said, Raven and fair play to Alan for organising it and to ADMIN, for permitting the links on here,
Happy
Folks, please support this worthy cause, bring a little hope to less fortunate others on the eve of Christmas, no matter what you can donate, it all helps. Happy x
There is not long to go till the end of this appeal so please just give a little. No one knows when or who the big C will hit so please donate as you never know when someone you know will need the hepl of these donations.
A big thank you to all that supported this campaign, in particuliar I would like to thank admin for all their help & assistance. Even though this Christmas campaign is over, it is still possible to donate directly to many of the Irish Charities offering support, help & assistence to cancer patientaand their families.
Thanks.
