I have received this email (email addresses removed for privacy). There is a flyer attached which I can forward on to Charity folk.
Are we able to request some flyers, or would this interfere with our already-chosen bout charity? Dont want to tread on any tootsies! Let me know what you think,

Subject: ARRG PR - A message from Breakthrough Breast Cancer

Dear ARRG,
I am contacting you to ask for your help to promote breast awareness.
I am aware of ARRG as one of my friends Kelly, aka Moxie Emerald, is one of your skaters.
As October is breast cancer awareness month I thought it might be great if we could promote our TLC - Touch Look Check message. Ideally both with the team itself and also perhaps at Stop Jammertime on the 15th of October. Every year in Scotland over 4000 women and 20 men are diagnosed with breast cancer and 1000 women die from the disease. An early diagnosis is the best chance of survival from the disease. This is why it is so important to be breast aware.
I have attached one of our TLC leaflets for your information. We already have these printed up so there are absolutely no costs to this. What I would do is send you some leaflets one each for the team, the referees and a bundle that you could perhaps have on one of the desks at the bout itself.
We would love to do some joint press work if you wanted to go ahead. I had a thought of "ARRG get a Bout of TLC" but let me know what you think.
With best wishes,
Janis

Hi lovely!

That is lovely and shame it didn't come sooner as the vote is in for Downs Syndrome Scotland already for Jammertime! Also, although they are completely different charities, we did support MacMillan Cancer support recently. Although if a majority wanted to change the vote then we would do it but i am contacting DSS tomorow to let them know about the support.

Feel really bad now! Even though it's not during their awareness month, we can add them to the vote for Berlin bout in November?

Hope this is ok!
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Just for info, I emailed her back and said that we already had a nominated charity, but would be willing to discuss future involvement, and perhaps negotiate a press op. Hope this is ok?

Would it be acceptable to take the flyers anyway, If they are having an awarness month, it would be sensible for everyone to recieve this information, regardless of them not being the chosen charity. perhaps stick a TLC flyer in the program?

Yeah I agree that some of their fliers would be good to hand out! Maybe have some on the merch stall and/or the door. Awareness spreading is always good. And yes they can totally be considered in votes for future bouts but someone else will be organising that one!
