Title: Charity Promises Auction - Grand Total
Post by: Pi55y on May 30, 2013, 13:05:32 PM
A huge thanks to everyone who supported, donated  or bid at our marathon Charity Promises Auction last night.

We are just waiting for the last few payments to come in, but once these are received we will have raised a staggering



17,500 TL   !!!!!!!!!!

This is a record amount and has beat last years total by 3,000 TL !!!!  and this will allow us to fund many more projects for the children.


A huge thanks to George who was a brilliant auctioneer and who must be hoarse today and to the rest of the 3C's team  - the admin team, spotters, lot displayers, security and promise hunters - who worked extremely hard in the run up to the auction and on the night itself -  a brilliant team and we are privileged to work with them.

Thanks also to Dennis and his team who let us take over the Bambu for the night and to Angel and Serdal at the Nil Bar.

Pete and Chrissie

The result does indeed reflect the level of effort put in - most especially by the 3Cs committee. You truly do have to see it with your own eyes to appreciate the work that these guys put in, all in the name of raising money for wonderful causes. There are no expenses claims, no running costs - and that is what makes it such a great charity to support - if you donate £10, £10 of it is used to make young lives in Turkey better.

Well done to everyone on the committee, and another big shout for the people who should be known as "the usual suspects" - the ones who donate great promises to auction year after year. They are also the first names to make a donation into my Paypal account when CBF is after your dosh to raise money for a good cause. As the saying goes...

You know who you are.

Fabulous total, glad CBF play a part in it all, if not to the same level as some individuals  :)

Phenominal amount, the genorisity of doners and buyers, never dwindles and still, to this day, 5yrs on, never ceases to amaze me.

The 3C's just get bigger and better everyear.  Team work is our speciality (we are army trained lol) and its a wonderful warm feeling to be part of it all.

We all deserve a rest now so we can continue our efforts in September.  Bring it on LARGE

What a fantastic amount for the children, well done to all involved, I thought George did a fantastic job and it was kept going like a well oiled machine. Well done to the whole team these things takes weeks of preparation and people don't see that bit.

On behalf of all of the 3Cs Committee, we want to say a HUGE - THANK YOU to CBF member, Kevin3 who has sent us a message to say that he would like to add a further £300 to our record breaking 17,500 lira raised at the promises auction.

Kevin was particularly interested in our project to provide hearing aids to children attending the rehabilitation centre and has requested his donation continues help to that cause, I'm sure it wont be a problem.

Have only just picked up your e-mail Kevin, but thank you so much, it is an extremely generous gesture and we at the 3C's,  together with whichever child with hearing difficulties your donation eventually goes to help, cannot thank you enough.

I have pm'd you with the UK bank account details  Please can you let me know that you have received this message.

Thanks

Chrissie   :).
