donation
If you would like to support NACC
you can:
make a donation online through our partner site JustGiving
or use our
printed donation form
you can also
create a donations page for your own sponsored event
through Justgiving. This enables people to sponsor
you online or you can sponsor people already raising
money for NACC
When you donate via Justgiving they reclaim the income
tax you have paid on that sum on our behalf (where you
have declared yourself to be a UK tax payer) and add
that to your donation before passing the total to NACC.
NACC pays Justgiving a small
administration fee for this service which includes the
charge made by the credit card company.

Catherine McEwan Ball
Now in its 7th year and the most important event in Glasgow's Social
Diary, boasting the cream of Glasgow's business community as guests and
patrons!
Organiser, Derek McEwan, has raised in excess of £100,000 in memory of
his mother, Catherine, who sadly lost her battle against Crohn's aged 38
when Derek and his brother were 16 & 21 years old. Derek, a successful
businessman in Glasgow, has from the onset of his business, AIMS, wanted
to include an affiliated charity and for him no other than NACC will do.
Derek wants to support people affected by Colitis & Crohn's and help
NACC fund projects in Scotland.
Some of you might know that in conjunction with Yorkhill Children
Hospital, a family day was held in Glasgow's Science Centre in
September. The day was hugely enjoyed by over 200 children and their
families. Derek was delighted that some of the money raised through the
Catherine McEwan Ball was put to such good use in Glasgow. Derek told us
'nothing like that was available in Glasgow when my brother and I were
children'. One parent described the day as 'wonderful for parents
and children alike'.
The 2010 event will take place on 13th March at the Thistle Hotel,
Glasgow. For ticket information please contact
derek@serviceyourclients.com. The money that you raised from
this event in 2009 has been used to fund an away day for 60 teenagers
with Colitis and Crohn’s
NACC Pyramid Boxes
 Nearly £42,500 raised to date. Thank you one and
all!
We aim to increase our annual research fund from
£350,000 to £500,000
If each member raises £25 by placing their box in a
prominent place e.g. on your desk at work, your favourite pub or bar,
post office, shop or, if you are feeling brave, you could, as 8-year old
Katie did, leave it in your hall for generous visitors, you could help
us raise an amazing £725,000!
If you wish to fundraise in this way please contact to
request a box or boxes. The box opens out into a pyramid. Writing your
name and address in the space provided on the base will ensure that the
box is returned to you.
Please
send your cheques or postal orders made payable to NACC to: NACC
(PYRAMID), 4 Beaumont House, Sutton Road, St Albans AL1 5HH
Nothing on our fundraising pages appeal to you? Why not organise
your own event and join in the drive to raise awareness
and funds for NACC.
 E-mail or
call 01727 830038 to find out how else you can support the work of the
NACC – working to help improve the lives of those living with Colitis
and Crohn’s. |
