Net 10 for Life is back again for 2012 and is only a week away

Netball East’s unique initiative, demonstrating their commitment to England Netball’s charity partnership with Cancer Research UK, raised over £2,700 last year and this year we want it to be even bigger and better!!!! Like last year Netball East would like to invite every league, team, back to netball session in the region to take part in this exciting fundraising initiative and help raise thousands of pounds for this incredible charity. All we ask is that for one week this year we all pull together to support and cooperate in what will be a fantastic team effort!

So, what does it involve?

The concept of Net 10 for Life is simple…

Week beginning 6th February 2012 is Net 10 for Life week and all matches played during this week will help contribute to the fundraising.

Each team pledges to donate 10p per goal scored in their weekly fixture. So for example;

Luton Lollypop Ladies 45 (£4.50) v Dunstable Dinner Ladies 33 (£3.30)

Total pledge from each team = £7.80

Our Umpires will be paramount to making this work, as they will be the ones we ask to remind our teams of Net 10 for Life. They will also be encouraged to get involved, by swapping their whites for some pinks, and rounding any donations up to the nearest pound. At the end of the match, the pledges will be collected up by a willing volunteer and donated online at the Netball East Just Giving Page www.justgiving.co.uk/Net10forlife ….And it’s as simple as that!

But, we need your support to promote this initiative and get the whole region behind it. We want to raise the most money we possibly can for Cancer Research UK and show everyone what a fantastic region we are. So come, join in and on let’s see how much we can all net!

Ideas to make it easier and raise more!!

· LEAGUES – Put a bucket at your central venue for all teams to contribute in, donate as a whole league and see how you compare to all the other leagues in the region.

· CLUBS – If you have more than one team, or want to be recognised as an individual club, maybe you have had a special training session dedicated to celebrate Net 10 for Life week, or have lots of teams who are donating and you want to be recognised how you have supported CRUK

· BACK TO NETBALL GROUPS – Wear Pink for the week and see how many goals you can score against each other as a team or as an individual!!

· SCHOOLS – Have shooting competitions, allow girls to wear pink to training or matches during this week and score as many goals as possible.

Let us know how you plan to raise money and support Net 10 for Life week or after the event send us some pictures and a piece on what you did and we can include you in our new Digi Newsletter
