Title: Donations from the club
Post by: Phil from the upper holte on November 17, 2017, 07:36:12 AM: Hey

Not sure if this is the right place...

My sister's step son has tragically died at 22. It was in the mail and express and star. He sadly fell from a bridge in Wolverhampton.

We're trying to raise £7k to cover the funeral. We have a charity day tomorrow and a charity boxing match next week. Wolves have kindly donated a signed shirt which will be auctioned off.

Does anyone have any experience of donations from our club? Shirts balls etc. Who would be the best person to contact i don't really want to tweet the Dr as you know what Twitter is like

Cheers

I am sure the villa would offer something they are pretty good at this sort of thing

The villa have confirmed they only like to help registered charities. At least I'll know for next time hopefully won't be a next time
