Pilgrim Pixels - Raising Money to support Boston United
« on: June 21, 2020, 05:35:51 PM »
PILGRIM PIXELS IS LIVE!

http://www.bostonunited.club



Buy a pixel for £1 each to reveal the new stadium photo, and support the club! The above image is the same one as shown on the website, so will update each day with new pixels purchased and removed.

Please only purchase an amount you can afford - this is not to replace the Building Together campaign, but to complement it to allow people to donate smaller amounts if they wish. You could name a brick or seat for just £1 spent!

For every £200 raised, we will purchase a brick or seat via Building Together (for £100), with 1 person being chosen at random from the 200 pixels to name this, and choose either a Fans/Memorial brick or seat. The remaining £100 will go to a bigger fund to buy larger items, such as goalposts (£1,500). I will evaluate at the end of July regarding an excess balance, and purchasing smaller items such as the £10 shrubs or £25 pitch sponsor.

There are also rewards being provided by local businesses, therefore at other milestones these will also be drawn - £250 (Games Central voucher), £500 (Sprinkles by Lucy prize) and £750 (Yellowbelly SUP prize). If you can help and provide a small prize, please get in touch!

We purchased our first Fans Wall brick today, with pixel purchaser Robert Sharman randomly chosen as the winner to choose the message



For a guide on how to purchase, please visit this webpage.

We are currently on £275 with purchases made up to 5pm 21/6/20 - I update the pixel picture once per day.

Thank you!

We've raised over £500 now.. £519 to be exact at lunchtime today!

A couple of "spot-prize" winners so far are Khris Hunt, who won a voucher for Games Central, and Nikki Pratt, winner of a Share Treat Box from Sprinkles by Lucy.





Next milestone is £600, when another fans brick or seat will be purchased. If you can provide a spot-prize, please get in touch!

Thanks!

Well done Scotty.  If my sums are correct, with your Pixel, Mels jar, Kris's face masks, donation page and the auction, we are nearing the £20,000 mark. A bloody good show from all concerned. And again well done.

UPDATE: We are up to £1,130 raised... and I've just purchased the latest 2 bricks (1x Fan, 1x Memorial) for winners Sophie Robinson and Mick Spillane.

Mick has decided his prize will be a Memorial Brick for Kim Cocks.

As we've now gone over £1,000 (never expected to!), I will be drawing random purchases for 4 more fans/memorials bricks/seats (I am waiting for some PayPal money to clear through - this will be another 2 bricks/seats once released).

Craig Singleton has said the fans bricks can all be put together in the new ground, so for me it makes sense to get a as many as possible in a group! We'll now draw a winner every £100.
