Tribute Fund

If you have lost someone as a result of cancer or other awful disease, you will perhaps have a sense of determination - a determination to make a difference both now and in the future.

A Cobalt Tribute Fund provides a way of doing just that; celebrating the life of someone very special through fundraising activities and donations, watching the Tribute Fund grow, in the knowledge that the inspiration is a loved one and they are still making a difference.

A Lasting Tribute - This is what Mark Drew's parents had to say:

"Mark was just 27 when he lost his life through pancreatic cancer on 5th June 2007.  He was a very loving man, fantastic son, brother and uncle and very loyal friend.  He was also a very keen sportsman who enjoyed darts, snooker and especially football.

It was through his love of football that it was decided to play a game in his memory and Mark's Memorial Match, followed by a raffle, took place on Friday 2nd May, between Horsley United and Forest Green Rovers Veterans.

Both teams consisted of players who had played with Mark during his life and the match was extremely successful with over 300 people attending and showing their support, raising £1,320.52.

We chose to support Cobalt as it was a charity that Mark was very supportive of, often taking part in sponsored walks etc and we decided to have a Tribute Fund set up in this name.

It is wonderful to know that the Mark Drew Tribute Fund will grow year upon year, giving family, friends and colleagues something positive to focus on and the opportunity to help other local people. Our last fundraiser was on the August bank holiday and plans are in place for next year's Mark's Memorial Match!" Trevor & Carol Drew

Once set up, family, friends and colleagues can contribute to the Fund in whatever way they wish; through donations, by organising fundraising events or taking part in an event and raising sponsorship.

As the Tribute Fund grows year upon year it is comforting to know that memories are kept alive in such a positive way. Each and every contribution is a tribute to your loved one in its own right and will make a huge difference to the work of Cobalt in its constant fight against cancer and serious illness.
