Fatt Max Album #2 - Can anyone suggest a worthy charity?

[Fatt Max]

Awight my lovelies,

Just working on another album at the moment, a collection of original blues songs, something I have wanted to do for a while.

As some of you know, all money made from my music goes straight to charity (Starship Hospital, CanTeen etc etc).

Now, just want to throw this out there and see what happens. KB'rs have been great supporters of the noisy shite I put out so with this album, I want to donate the proceeds to a bike or biker related charity. I dont really know of any in NZ so if any of you think there is a worthy cause of this kind then let me know.

Sorry but Booze for Bikers and Bikers Lap Dancing charities are out I'm afraid, but if there is something I could donte to then I am happy to give it a whirl.

The album is due for release in June

Ok, there it is, any and all suggestions gratefully received

Therein lies the name of an organisation which could benefit some riders.
(sorry it's just taken me about an hour to find the damned thread, so stuffed if I can think of the name of the organisation, my brain got all confuddled). Must mean I'm due a glass of wine then :)

ALL good causes - all rider friendly

You could always try the "Slofox New Bike" fund Mark...:whistle:


Seriously, Air Ambulance might be the go - no doubt they pick up a few crashed riders from time to time...

Peace Movement Aotearoa seems popular with bikers.:shifty:

Seriously though, how about The Brain Injury Association?

It's all a bit morbid huh. How does KiwiBiker finance itself?

BADD - bikers against drunk driving - TGW is the founder.

KB< BRONZ Ulyesses and everyother bike type of outfit all help out
The Westpac Rescue helicopter Trust, these guys are the ones who save the lives of many bikers who would otherwise die on remote roads in the middle of nowhere.
They get No Govt Funding and other organisations like St Johns are so unhappy about them that they actually try to get them closed down on a regular basis.
Fatt Max this is a group deserving of as much support as they can get.
Just my 2 cents worth mate.

[Rockbuddy]

how about "The Chariot Trust" this trust is a registered charity run by a couple of bike riders that runs programs for youth

[Fatt Max]

Thanks to all of your suggestions here, appreciate the time to post them up

A lot to think about.

Cheers again

If you can't decide, do a hat draw. If you're chosing between a couple, flip a coin.
Otherwise, you could always go for more than one (no idea what sort of $ you're talking, but most charities are grateful for any amount).
And if you're really stuck, remember Destiny Church (I think they are fussy about amounts though) :)

I did approach Destiny Church with a fundraising song but the classic blues ballad "Tamaki Takes It Up The Arse" is deemed inappropriate

As Bertie Bassett said, "It takes all sorts..."
