Apollo Moon Astronaut in Sheffield

Recommended Posts

I am trying to raise money to bring one of the 24 Men who went to the Moon to Sheffield.

 

He will be doing a lecture and meet and greet.

 

It would be at Sheffield Hallam University hopefully in August 2013.

 

The fee is high but it is achievable with some luck.

 

Any questions feel free to get in touch via Kickstarter

A once in lifetime opportunity, in a few years this may not be possible.

 

All the best

What will the cost be when he is here? Or will it be free?

But to what purpose? If it's self-financing, by audience ticket fees, why an appeal?

Obviously you don't give enough time for this to work as you have tried this twice before then cancelled, last month being the most recent attempt before that February. 1 month to raise that amount surely ain't long enough, especially with Xmas

 

What's your returns policy? Are people just pledging an amount or are they actually transferring cash?

Nigel if you want to raise money we are looking for sponsors to help a little 2 year old girl who has cerebal palsy be able to walk and play like any other child, she needs to have the operation in the USA because our NHS is so cash strapped that we can't train anyone over here in this field. Maybe we should get our priorities right. See link
