We have already planned lots of exciting events to help raise money to fund research into CMD.

You can help by running an event for SAM. Have a coffee morning or a car boot sale. Take part in a fun run or a have a sponsored walk. Encourage your school to get involved with a non-uniform day, art competition or a fancy dress party. Everything you raise, no matter how large or small an amount, will help us to take a step closer to finding a treatment or a cure for CMD.

You can set up your own Justgiving page to help with your fundraising by clicking on http://www.justgiving.com/-pleasefixsam and following the link "I want a page like this". Remember that by raising funds on JustGiving SAM benefits from an additional 25% on donations from UK taxpayers!

SOCCER FOR SAM

Plans are afoot for an exclusive Charity football match between 2 of Belfast's Carling Premier League teams, Cliftonville and Glentoran.

The match will be played at the Oval at the end of June / beginning of July. Both teams will be donning special one-off strips bearing the charity logo. The exclusive match worn shirts will be auctioned on the SAM website after the match - a unique opportunity for supporters of the teams to get their hands on a unique piece of memorabilia all in aid of this very worthy cause.

All gate proceeds (minus expenses) will go to SAM to help fund research into Congenital Muscular Dystrophy.

HAVE A COFFEE FOR SAM

We all love a good natter over a cuppa, so why not invite some of your friends over and raise some money for research into Muscular Dystrophy!

You can also help us by spreading the word about the campaign to all those who attend your event.

We are happy to send along a member of the committee to tell you a little about the charity and about why we are raising money for this worthy cause.

Contact us for posters and fundraising information.

 

 

GET LOCKED UP FOR SAM

Volunteers for this event will be arrested for being kind people with big hearts and be hauled away to a mystery venue where they will be given the opportunity to raise their own bail money from family, friends and business associates.

Typically, volunteers will be business owners and others with enough contacts to raise bail. The participants can either volunteer themselves or be nominated by a colleague or acquaintance.

SAM will then call them to confirm their participation and inform them of the bail amount which they will have to raise (we are actively encouraging people to get pledges towards their bail money prior to the event).

To volunteer or nominate a potential Jailbird please email contact@helpsam.info.
