We've raised $350 CDN in other ways - and have to be able to raise the rest of the funds ($430) within a month (payment deadline was unknown to us - sorry). I paid for the fees last year out of my own pocket (with a bit of help from Brian L. - thanks Brian!). I can't pay the remaining $430 myself this year. All we have time left to do at this point is ask for donations. What i'm going to ask everyone to do is if you cant donate personally, then run a draw ($5 entry fee or something) in your home town, and take half of the funds and donate to TSAC so we can pay for our ITSF membership fee. That would help so much, and allow everyone to play foos still. I'm sorry we're not far enough along yet, that we can raise our own funds - but hopefully you'll agree we're doing the best with what we have - and we have a good representation for all Canadian foosers - and if we want to continue to have that under the ITSF, then we'll need your help to pay for their membership fee. you can donate in one of three ways: 1. paypal: goto http://tablesoccerca.ning.com and click on the button in the upper left 2. pledge: email me (dunneri@shaw.ca) - and i'll get the money from you the next time we meet up at a tournament or something - this will only work for people i know. 3. mail: TSAC Headquarters 4044 Malton ave. Victoria, BC V8X 4X1 Any amount will help - thanks. i'll continue to post as we get donations. Author: foosghost Reply #1 Posted: May 26 2008 2:06AM I'll start the donations. I'll donate $30. Plus i'll donate an additional $30 for every donation of $30 or more. So running total: $400!! keep em comin' Author: foosghost Reply #2 Posted: May 27 2008 3:38AM (i'm not sure if they want me to share names at this point, so i won't).. but we've got a $30 donation from a long time vancouver fooser: So that's $340 left to go. Author: foosghost Reply #3 Posted: May 28 2008 1:18AM Update: OFA donated $100 + my $30 = $130 BC Foos donated $50 + my $30 = $80. $340 - $210 = $130 more to go. Author: foosghost Reply #4 Posted: May 30 2008 12:24AM More donations - you folks are awesome! $5 - Quebec fooser $30 - Calgary fooser $30 - Edmonton fooser so that's another $60 match by me $130 - ($65 + $60) = $5 - only $5 left!! Don't feel like you can't donate at this time either, any additional donations will carry over to next year, or whatever expenses we encur. Author: foosghost Reply #5 Posted: May 31 2008 5:42AM I was just doing the books, and i made a mistake... Calgary fooser donated $50, not $30. Plus a couple more donations another Edmonton fooser: $30 Brian Leoppky: $30 Plus seeing as we hit our goal, i've stopped matching - thanks so much everyone! I'm so suprised at how fast we were able to raise the money. Thanks again for everyone's help.
