• Return of the Santa Strike Force

    Tom Murphy (aka DeVore of boards.ie) has just announced this years Santa Strike Force appeal.
    The idea came about in 2004 when Murphy gathered together donations (mainly from boards.ie users), bought presents (good ones) for kids spending Christmas in hospital and care-centres and then covertly dropped them off at various locations around the country. Since the initial appeal the concept has grown into a full-blown operation, with €7,000 being raised last year through donations, sponsorships, events, gigs and auctions… not a bad amount considering that it only runs for about 1 month of the year).

    So the 2006 appeal is up and running, check out the website or forum for more information and to get involved, and those of you on boards.ie are bound to notice some interesting fundraising techniques being implemented in the coming weeks (and if you don’t, suggest one yourself).
