Since News is not drinking, maybe you could ask him if he'd meet and greet the family Matt?

Hey, hoping people can help me out to try raise more funds for Fever Dreams. Spark are having a give away with the chance to win $3000 towards a give a little charity, I have put in a comment for what we are doing here and if you have a Facebook account, can you please like it (and comment if you wish). Just hoping it might help to get them to choose us.

No haven't actually heard yet, but did email them. Also contacted to start trying to organise a family to come to the game in Auckland from Auckland Ronald McDonald House.

Very happy that we are three wins from three games with a RMH family in attendance.

Can you get in contact with Australian RMH families?  Might help when we play in Tardistan, Pissantville and Grrrrrrivaltown.

Have posted this in the "Hutt Rec games - Season Ticket" thread as well, but it deserves repeating:

All of us who are buying Hutt Rec tickets for their mates, should ask for/add-on a donation to the Ronald McDonald House ticketing fundraiser

Tickets? Tickets? We talkin’ about tickets?

From the family, this is what you guys have done for the families. Thank you to everyone who contributed.

Hi guys

Thanks so much for the tickets etc for the game on Sunday, it was an awesome game and was great to get out and do something normal for a few hours :-) Our son Micah was super excited to see his first football game :-)

Thanks again,

Phil, Jo, Micah & Jethro Chiet

Sorry Vader, no idea. Didn't go into too much detail but would agree there is something.

That picture with Nixie is gonna be the one that forever will stick in the little fellas mind. That is soooooooo cool. It feels good to know that collectively we have made a difference in a positive way in a complete strangers life. Very proud of this.

Phil's top looks like a hoopey. He's a natural Feverite!

So awesome, someone has just contributed to the Give a Little and we have now reached $3,500... We have come a long way since wanting to get $100 for one family to come to a game.
