Iron Man II Charity Painting Marathon
Fundraising for Save the Children
Story
Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.
Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving – they’ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they’ll send your money directly to the charity. So it’s the most efficient way to donate – saving time and cutting costs for the charity.
We have run a 24-hour painting marathon for Save the Children. Please check out this great charity's work at http://www.savethechildren.org.uk/about-us/what-we-do. Our target is for a group of us to paint 48 British WW2 soldiers and sell them off to raise some cash, plus individuals will be painting their own miniature figures for sponsorship pledges. If we can raise £500 we can really help. I have set it up through JustGiving so that there is no need to handle money and so that StC can gain through GiftAid, meaning that an extra 25% on top of what you donate will go to the charity.
So please dig deep and donate now.
***We did it!***
We painted the whole army, Mike Hobbs painted a Saga force, and we beat the £500 target. We are auctioning the British WWII and Saga forces:
Super great guy, Mike Hobbs, painted up a 29-figure, four-point Pagan Rus Saga warband for the event over a 24-hour period. All figures are 28mm Gripping Beast. And now it's up for auction.
All proceeds go to the Save the Children charity. So far, we have raised over £500 GBP for the charity, and had a great time doing it! The warband will be auctioned, with a closing date of August 30th at midnight GMT. Bids must be emailed to stuart@greatescapegames.co.uk. All bids are closed. Winning bidder will be announced by the following day.
We are setting a reserve of £87 GBP for the 29-figure warband. That's £3 GBP per figure, so please dig deep. Postage will be added at cost, or may be picked up in Cardiff, or at a show attended by Great Escape Games. Monies will be deposited through the JustGiving site, at which you may use your credit/debit card or PayPal. U.K. winners, please tick the Gift Aid box so that we can raise a bit more for the charity.
Even if you don't want to bid, please consider donating so that you can help children, and set us a tougher target to beat next year! See the pics of the Saga force below:
