Mikron's Ruby Appeal - Sponsorship for 2011
For the first time in Mikron's 39 year history, we find ourselves without any secure formal funding. We really need your help to make our 40th year of touring a reality.
Donations
No matter how small, your donations will help make this landmark year a success.
£10
buys a set of guitar strings (you wouldn't belive how many we go through)
£20
equips Tyseley with a gas cylinder to keep the actors fed and washed (we use gas for the hob, fridge and shower)
£50
enables the lyrics and composition of the chorus of a Mikron song to be written (of course if the lyricists get carried away, we won't ask you for more!)
Don't forget that if you pay a higher rate of tax you can claim back 20% of your donation as tax relief
As cashflow is very tight, we are asking for donations to arrive in the office before 31st March 2011. This will ensure that we can get next years shows up and running.
Sponsorship
Of course, if you would like to help Mirkon with a bigger donation, show sponsorship is the perfect way to help. You can remain anonymous if you wish or tell everyone you know and bring them to a show.
