RAFFLE TICKETS NOW AVAILABLE -
SHOW YOUR SUPPORT FOR THE OXFORDSHIRE CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL!!
It's that time of year again when Play2Give ask you to dig deep as the annual football fundraising tournament takes centre stage as football fever sweeps Oxford City Football Club.
On Sunday July 13, the event, now in its 6 year and its third as a children's tournament, returns and as every year it is hoped to raise thousands for the Oxford Children's Hospital - which benefits from this fantastic fun day every summer. We have 18 boys teams in under 9s and 10s raring to hit the pitches, and we also have RAFFLE TICKETS available to NOW buy!
With an array of over 30+ fantastic prizes, you can help a local child in need by buying your tickets and the chance to bag a prize, ranging from days out, to a Four Pillars Hotel meal, a Miele vacuum, a day at the Races, to 1/2 a days gardening, Oxford United match-day tickets and much much more!! Raffle tickets are just 50p each, or £2.50 for a book of 5 tickets.
All the proceeds - as with that of the football tournament - will be donated to the Oxford Children's Hospital. Last year's raffle in the football tournament bagged the most amount of money ever in history, with over £660 raised and over 30 lucky winners!!
So if you would like to buy a ticket/s, please email Andrew Baker or speak to Dale, Teresa, or Elaine for tickets.

OVER £1,800 RAISED!
Back in February Andrew Baker (P2G chief) and friend-supporter Ross Downes, a volunteer helper of the Paediatric Eye Fund , organised a very fun and top notch fundraising party - and so successful it was that it broke all records for a Play2Give evening, by raising over £1,810 in total for the PEF at the JR and the Oxford Children's Hospital.
It was the fourth such night orchestrated by Andrew and with the aid of Ross, and the input of Craig Phillips (of Didcot Rugby Club, of which the rugby club supported the entire event) a packed room at the wonderful hosts the town's Marlborough Club enjoyed a fantastic of amazing music - from Unusual Suspects the band for the night who had everyone singing and dancing - quite literally - to the wonderful disco from Impact Disco, to a large raffle, a buffet and not to mention a hairy hour when members of the rugby club had their heads shaved and legs waxed to raise extra funds.
Even Andrew had his own head shaved right down to the scalp and through his skinhead, he raised over £700 for his 3 charities, thanks to the support of all those who sponsored him for his 'hair-razing' experience!! Andrew's hair has now grown back, but it was a real winner of the night for the 3 charities he supported, and thank you to all those brave chaps who lost their hairs for such good causes! Huge thank you to Johnsons of Oxford for their wonderful philanthropy in being our sponsors for the event allowing us to achieve such an astounding sum and result! It is hoped to run another Play2Give party at the Marlborough Club in 2015.

Bid If Your a Gooner
and Help Sick Kids
Are you an avid Gooner supporter?
Play2Give have been lucky enough to receive a signed Arsenal picture (which we have had framed for extra effect) donated by the football club to raise funds for this year's football tournament.
Last year the club also donated the same signed item and through silent bids beforehand £185 was boosted to the Children's Hospital by the football tournament after the lucky winner was an Arsenal-mad lady from Oxfordshire who was thrilled to add the 'framed picture' to her room, known as an Arsenal shrine. Are you football mad?
Are you an avid Gooner supporter? Do you know someone who lives and breathes Arsenal? If you would like to bid for this signed picture with a certificate of authenticity, signed by the 2013/14 first team, and help a great cause at the same time?
Please email your bid to play2give@hotmail.com by 9pm on July 12th and the person with the closest or highest bid come July 13th will win this piece of memorabilia!
