Bulgaria Ski discussion board

Update on the Ski-a-Thong fundraising events in Borovets. The total raised over the two months from 14 January (when the idea for the ski-a-thong was launched) to 14 March from the combined collection of all the Ski-a-Thong events, (and contributions from SkiDVD, Bulgariaski, Beach Bulgaria and other contributions) was a staggering sum of £11,421

Also since 21 December 2007, when the website was first launched and the first contributions, the total as at 15 March 2008 from donations from the above-mentioned forums, MyBulgaria and others is now a staggering €18,352 (at the time of writing as donations are still being received). We also still have several upcoming fund raising events which are listed on our Fundraising page on our website which will help to boost this already amazing figure.

There are no words which can adequately describe what Orphanage Stoikite Team and every one concerned are feeling at this moment. The two lists of all contributions for the Ski-a-Thong and List of Donations will shortly be added to the Donations Info page.

Special mentions: it is difficult to name everyone as so many people helped to make the ski-a-thong such a success but we would like to thank :
Pamporovo Pete (Bulgariaski & SunnyBeach) and Phil - Banknote (SkiDVD) who started the ball rolling.
Tiger Tim whose initial contributions included his daughters’ Charlotte and Alex, who gave their savings and were responsible for a school disco which raised £295. The total amount of Tim's worldwide donations was £1,700;
Guto (aka Clive) and the Herbrandston Young Carers who raised £887.49 by having his hair and beard entirely shaved off;
TD (Caro) and Bibbleb0bs (Bob) - £800 for all the wonderful Ski-a-Tong T-Shirts, and last - but no means least -
the Brooklands Primary School who raised £800

What's Next - Summer Theme is THE WALK OF LIFE
As many of you will already know a sponsored walk from either Sunny Beach or St Vlas to Nessebar and finish with a big party in Nessebar. The distance is approximately 4 miles if we start at Sunny Beach or 8 miles if we start at St Vlas. It will be held sometime between 13th & 25th July and more info on this will be given as and when the event is finalised so watch this space .......

Thank you everyone for all your help in bringing a little bit of sunshine into a child's life

Andie - on behalf of ALL the Team with thanks
