    4. If donations are tax deductible? (Perhaps its on the website but should be something they're screaming about)

    I mean, we all love the club and I'm sure want to help out, but why make it hard?
    Agree. This is like 101 stuff.

    Because I’m a stupid idiot mark I still gave them $20. This better not all secretly be going to the IDF.

    You know you guys can lie right, add a few zeros. Nobody can fact check you.

    Yeah I gave $10k, no big deal.

    I've donated - I guess there's a sense of trust for me with the current guardians. They've had some things outside of their control.
    I think they could have sold it better too.

    If you get a call from a blocked number it's probably the club hounding, I mean requesting donations.

    I'm also the person matching the first 500k then. Prove it's not me

    Looks like this is not an exercise to knock off the total debt, but rather appease the funds received from Gov and the obligations the club has to tip in money. Target seems like $1 million

    Has topped $700k so on track for the $1 million. The jumper and seat take-ups are only in the 20s though. We should have banded together and got WOOF on the jumper or a seat.

    If G organises a syndicate I'll chip in for the jumper.

    295 / 20 = 14.75 each.
    /10 = 29.50
    /5 = 49.00

    A few people with deep pocks throwing some cash around. So far we have the following donations in at least five figures.

    $100K
    $60K
    $50K
    $40K x 2
    $30K
    $20K x 5
    $15K
    $10K x 4

    That is $475K right there.

    Imagine if we were not in a cost of living crisis!

    Jumpers are now in the early 30's. I think that is a really good idea.
