aussiesaint20 Posted 22 January, 2016 Share Posted 22 January, 2016 At our Aussie Saints Xmas party in Melbourne, with special guest John Sydenham, we raised £75 for Mary's Meals and £75 for the Ex-Saints towards Ronald MacDonald House Southampton. We were also lucky to enough to be given a signed 2014-15 kit by a couple visiting from Southampton. Seeing as we already had a Le Tiss signed shirt at our pub we thought the best idea would be to raffle it off with all proceeds going direct to Mary's Meals. The reason I'm posting this up here is that we'll be doing the draw just before kick-off tomorrow and would really appreciate your help in reaching our target. As you can see from the link, 100% of the money goes straight to Mary's Meals. All the info is at https://www.marysmeals.org.uk/fundraising/project/sas-southampton-australian-supporters/sas-comp-signed-saints-shirt and we'll cover any postage costs to send it out to the winner. Many thanks in advance, Southampton Australian Supporters Facebook.com/AussieSaintsFC Twitter: @AussieSaintsSAS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ooh it's a corner Posted 22 January, 2016 Share Posted 22 January, 2016 I'm in. Mods - can't we sticky this for 24 hours? They need another £530 for target and given that Mary's meals has a club connection, we ought to be able to see this over the line? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're in the hat with tickets 61,62,63,64 and 65. £65 has been donated to Mary's Meals since the initial post! For those who don't know all to much about Mary's Meals, here's their 2015 review video (3m 4s): The first million (4m 44s): & their backpack project (4m 36s): All well worth a watch and, IMO, it's another fantastic decision by the club to partner with Mary's Meals. From all reports it was Katharina's call after she heard about the work being undertaken by Mary's Meals around the globe. Such a simple concept, incredibly low overheads and a close connection to the club. Hopefully it's a long lasting partnership. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Patrick Bateman Posted 23 January, 2016 Share Posted 23 January, 2016 Good thread, simply because I had no idea what Mary's Meals was - just thought it was some lame sponsorship on the jackets, I can't be alone in that either? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
