Eddie 3,467 Report post Posted January 9, 2020 Hi all, In case you miss the existing thread, dealwithit has very kindly arranged for a fundraising page to be set up for TRL Forum members to sponsor a team in the Jamaican RL league this coming season. We need to raise a minimum of $500 US or $700 AUS and are currently at $345 AUS (thanks in part to two incredible $100 donations) so if you want to help out this is the website for donations. https://chuffed.org/project/friends-of-jamaica-rl There is a lot of enthusiasm for the game in Jamaica but not a lot of funding, so this will help buy balls, equipment etc that the teams desperately need to be able to take part. 2 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

On the site page, it says something about dev inno also providing a donation. Do you or anyone else know any more about this? Does this mean the selected team will get $1000?

Whippet13 1,178 Report post Posted January 10, 2020 (edited) Further down the page it states: "To support the cause, Dev Inno Ltd will not only be administering the donations but will contribute to Jamaica RL by offering $500+ in kind donation by way of a fully funded scholarship to its '3xE: Employment, Education, Entrepreneurship' © program." So I think it's not club sponsorship, but will be available to help improve the life of one or more player through funding some of their education or helping them into employment.
