Or8 Our Kids III
Fundraising for The Children's Hospital Charity
Story
The purpose of this page is to allow people from home and abroad who cannot attend the Or8 Our Kids III event to still be able to get involved. The minimum donation is just £2, and anybody who donates at least that amount will be entered into a prize draw. The cut off date for entry into the draw will be Friday December 9th 2011, and the draw will take place as soon as possible after that date. The page will remain open for donations until the end of the year.
The winner will receive a Richard Hawley photo from the collection of Sheffield music photographer Chris Saunders, personally signed to them by Richard. In addition they will also recieved a signed limited edition 'Or8 Our Kids III' event poster.
Proceeds from this page will go directly to the Sheffield Children's Hospital Charity, though the total amount raised from the event (including the amount raised here) will be divided equally with Yorkshire Cancer Research.
Thanks in anticipation for your support.

**Anybody who wishes to make an anonymous donation, but would still like to included in the draw for the prize please save the confirmation e-mail you receive when you make your donation. That's the only way we can verify when you made your donation as the e-mail we receive simply says 'anonymous' has made a donation. Should a person marked as 'anonymous' come out of the draw, we'll ask for proof of when you donated should you come forward to claim the prize. Thanks again.**
On Friday November 25th, Or8 Our Kids III takes place at The Greystones, Sheffield. Following on from the success of past events in 2006 and 2008, the charity fundraising night will once again feature a collection of musicians brought together by a mutual appreciation of the work of Richard Hawley.
Born from an idea on Richard’s website forum, previous gigs have featured an eclectic line up of live music, including some covers of Richard’s songs, and Or8 Our Kids III will be no different.
There will once again be performances from The Lonesome & Penniless Cowboys, Dave Woodcock & The Dead Comedians, M&J Blues, Dave Sleney, plus Or8 debuts for Roaming Son and Joe Armitage. There will possibly be some collaborative surprises in store too.
Past events have included guest performances from Richard himself and also ‘Uncle’ Frank White. Expect plenty to please fans of old time country, Western swing, blues, ballads, rock ‘n’ roll with a dash of ‘real’ pop too.
The event will once again be in aid of the Sheffield Children’s Hospital Charity, with half of the proceeds this time also going to Yorkshire Cancer Research. On the night itself there will be a raffle with many great prizes and other fund raising opportunities too.
Doors open at 7.45pm for an 8pm start. Advance tickets will be £10 and are available from http://www.wegottickets.com/event/113479
