Chesterfield FC Supporters Club is seeking twenty local businesses to each donate £500 as they look to raise the money needed to build a Spireites Memorial Garden.

As reported HERE - the Garden, (above), which could see building start start as soon as Tom Jones has left the stage in early June, is to commemorate former Spireites supporters who've passed on, as well as remembering ex-players and managers killed as they served their Country in the conflicts of the 20th Century.

Memorabilia from Saltergate will also be incorporated into the design.
 
Costing a total of £35,000, the Supporters Club is hoping to formally open the Garden on August 4th 2014, the 100th anniversary of the outbreak of the First World War, but they still need money to ensure the project can be completed.
 
Already, Brampton based WE Amies & Co, plastics moulders, have handed over £5,000 to ensure the fund got off to a healthy start. There'll also be a bucket collection at the Chesterfield v Newport County game on Saturday 5th April.

The recent Spireites Legends event, organised by Total Waste Control's Denise James, raised £700 for the fund and that will be formally handed over at the Newport game.

Individuals can donate via text (Send GARD02 £5 or GARD02 £10 to 70070) and a JustGiving page will be available very soon, for supporters who wish to help by organising their own sponsored events.

Already, supporter Charlie Last from Dronfield is planning a bike ride to Manchester City's Memorial Garden, whilst the intrepid Belgian Spireites are planning to walk from Manchester airport to the Proact for the club's final game of the season against Fleetwood Town.

These events will soon be launched on the JustGiving platform.

Businesses interested in donating should contact fundraising co-ordinator Phil Tooley via email at psetooley@aol.com or call on 07949 391172.
