We’re very excited to announce the start of this year’s

“I LOVE TROUBLE” fundraiser.

These annual fundraisers play an important role in keeping Jenny going – and the contributions just kept growing! Last year’s fundraiser was the most successful to date. It brought in R51 040. And now here’s something you don’t hear very often: we don’t need any more than that! It was exactly right.

Goal: By 30 November 2019 we want to raise R 51 000 (3 025 €)

The plan is to do so by generating

• R 15 000 (900 €) in one-off donations
• R 3000 (180 €) in regular monthly contributions (limited to a year)

In order ro reach these goals, in South Africa we’re looking for:

• 3 people who can commit R50  per month
• 3 people who can commit R100 per month
• 3 people who can commit R200 per month.
• 3 people who can commit R250 a month

Internationally (from all the countries with TROUBLE fans, including Britain, Sweden, Germany, New Zealand) we’re looking for:

• 3 people who can commit 5 Euro per month
• 3 people who can commit 10 Euro per month
• 3 people who can commit 15 Euro per month

The regular monthly- contributions have proven vital in coverting costs. Sponsors (maybe you?) commit to transferring a small regular amount (let’s say R50 or 5 €) every month for one year, from December 2019 until November 2020. When enough people get involved, these regular amounts really add up. Of course, we’ll be very happy if sponsors extend their support beyond that, but we will check in with everyone after a year to see if that is possible.

But, please remember, one-off donations are also very, very welcome! Even small amounts really, really help!

If you can make a contribution, please write to fundraisingfortrouble(at)gmail.com and we will send you Jenny’s banking details.

PRIZE DRAW:
Now we get to the good stuff, where we can give our generous sponsors something back! There will be a prize draw in Berlin for our German supporters (unfortunately, we can’t open it up to everyone, as postage fees are too high).

The prizes last year included 3 “I love TROUBLE” pens, 5 packets with home-baked cookies and the grand prize: magnetic picture frames. What’ll it be this year? Watch this space to find out…

Here’s how it works: For every 10 € you donate or pledge, your name goes into the hat for the lucky draw on 30.11.2019. The names of people who pledge more than 10 € go into the hat more than once – so the name of someone who pledges 5 € a month for a year, goes into the hat 6 times.

Make sure to send us a mail, of you want to be included!

And, please remember to spread the word. Just 4 weeks to go!!

Thank you!!
