Hawks ask fans to 'donate a ticket'

We've promoted crowdfunding efforts by a number of our clubs during the past few months, and yesterday Whitehawk became the latest to ask for help- but as always with the Hawks, they've had to do things a little differently.

Their 'donate a ticket' appeal asks supporters to do just that- donate the money they would have spent gaining admission to a home match at the Enclosed Ground. They explain:

'A football club is made up of far more than the players we see on the park on a Saturday, and utility and property bills, operational costs, pitch repairs, ground repairs, administration fees and so much more, still need to be paid.

Ticket sales make up a huge part of football clubs income, so Whitehawk Football Club have teamed up with Donate A Ticket, who have designed a platform for supporters to donate the value of a match ticket directly to their club, which they might have paid anyway had the matches gone ahead.

Our clubs are often the lifeblood of a community, and grassroots football more than any other relies on their community to support them. No matter who we support, our clubs will have given us some of the biggest highs we’ve known, and donating in this way will help OUR club continue to provide these memories.'

You can help the Hawks by heading here- and as you hand over your cash (virtually) you can close your eyes and pretend that you're about to walk past a large mural of a Hawk before encountering lots of folk waving their keys in the air!
