Nature of EnquiryMrs Rebecca Bunn  44 Downshaw Road, Ashton Under Lyne Lancashire OL7 9QL Request for a Raffle Prize Dear Sir/madam ,  I am writing to you on behalf of Myself and Children's Heart Federation . I am in the process of organising a raffle for my local community and would like to raise much needed funds for the Children's Heart Federation. This raffle will consist of various prizes and will have lots of coverage in the local community . Local slimming world groups will be helping to raise awareness , as well as the event being well publicised on social networking sites such as Facebook and twitter.  I am looking to hold various fundraising events during  12th May - 20th May 2012 Children's Heart Week. My daughter who suffers from supra ventricular tachycardia also turns three on 15th may 2012 , so this would be a double celebration week for us .  I am also holding an CHARITY FAMILY FUN DAY on 16th June 2012 in Oldham , Lancashire. Money raised from the event will be used to Provide direct support:  1.Giving information and advice (telephone helpline, fact sheets, publications and website and making presentations at seminars and conferences); 2.Providing specialist medical equipment; 3.Giving out small grants to help families meet unexpected costs; 4.Organising trips that bring families together for mutual support and respite from the daily strains of life with a heart condition. The Children’s Heart Federation is the national charity and the umbrella body for voluntary organisations working to meet the needs of children and young people affected by congenital and acquired heart conditions.    How the money raised could help:  © £10 would pay for us to send the parents of a newly diagnosed heart child a comprehensive information pack;  © £25 will buy a Molly’s Dolly – a sweet rag doll used to help children understand their scars after surgery;  © £50 will provide many parents with support from our helpline when they are in need of someone to talk to;  © £300 will enable a family to stay together when their child is in hospital;  © £670 would cover the cost of purchase medical equipment for a heart child and training a family to use it, dramatically reducing the number of visits that the child needs to make to hospital.  We were hoping that you  might be willing to supply us with a suitable prize for our raffle. Your are always popular but any suitable product you could donate to us would be much appreciated. Or if any of your units are willing to help me with fundraising. That would be great , I have the support of the local MP and various other businesses within Tameside. If you were able to help please send you donation direct to the address above. If you require any more information please do not hesitate to contact me at the above address or email thebunns@rocketmail.com I will be publicising the event in many ways , but will be using a Facebook page to help do so. Feel free to visit it and have a look.  https://www.facebook.com/Beckybunnavon Thank you in advance and best wishes from myself and everyone at Children's Heart Federation.
