Charitable Tennis donations

In the one day internationals, there are donations to charities for every four or six.

I was wondering whether Tigers should not do something similiar with the upcoming Tennis challenge. That a donation is made for a certain top tennis shot like an ace to Cancer and other such charities. This would be one practical donation that the club or whoever else could make to remember the life of the wee man and to help so many others.

Also in other tennis events, such charitable donations could be made.

As a follow on to my idea, I have emailed the Tigers admin to enquire about such donations and asked them to pass it on to the relevant persons.

Like the MH Fund?

Yes, donations could be made to the MH fund also but I think some money should go to helping Cancer etc.

I have just had an email from Sam Rossiter-Stead and spoken to him on the phone and though he said Tigers don't specifically have any causes that they give out money to except for such as the Matt Hampson Trust as I understood they would be happy to help Jack's family with sending signed goods etc. and he asked for suggestions in which people could help. He said he had very much followed Jack's plight.
