Tommy Johnson Education for The Children Charity Dinner Dance - Friday 13th November 2009 Hilton Hotel East Midlands AirportThe annual East Midlands Ball took place on Friday 13th November and 170 guests joined Tommy Johnson and the EFTC team for another brilliant fundraising event. We were joined by several special guests- Sven Goran Eriksson and Peter Trembling among many others from Notts County Football Club came along to support Tommy and the charity. We were also joined by John Barnwell, Mark Draper, and we were treated to performances from a cabaret dance company and footballing trickster Colin Nell. Along with the Celebs, we were delighted to see so many familiar faces- dedicated supporters of the Charity came back to help us raise money for Guatemala once again. We hope you all had a great night and we are delighted to announce that we raised around £10,000.

Huge thanks go to Laura Williams, Michael Church and everyone at Celtic for helping us organise such a special evening.

Man City v Bolton Bucket Collection - Sunday 24th May 2009On Sunday 24th May 62 volunteers turned out to help us collect money at Man City's football ground. It was a gorgeous day and thanks to our fabulous bucket shakers we raised a brilliant £3,979.23!!!
We were also lucky enough to get....€7.77, $0.61, an old 5 pence piece, some used chewing gum, a watch battery, a bit of a pie, and a red fingernail….how lovely!!!We also raised a couple of hundred pounds from the text message raffle- this took the total raised on the day to £4,235.17!!
Thank you so much to everyone who helped out, we couldn't have done it without all your support. Man City told us that the average collection raises about £2,000… so we doubled that which is fantastic!!!
This money will go a long way to help the children in Guatemala- it will go into our general budget which will pay for things like food, teachers salaries, rent at our schools and medical supplies as and when they are needed. Thanks to your fundraising our children will get a chance to break out of the poverty cycle for good. EFTC May Day 5k - Monday 4th May 2009On Monday 4th May two teams braved the rain and took part in our first ever 5k run; a group in London as well as the local supporters in Nottingham. We asked all of our supporters to run, walk, or cycle 5k to help us raise money for Guatemala. We all had great fun (especially laughing at the charity teams outfits!!)...thanks again to everyone who turned out in the rain to support us!! We raised in the region of £3,000!!!
