Less than five days to be On for Ron!

04:23PM Tue 31/10/17 on Our Own Ron

Newsflash!! 

WE HAVE LESS THAN FIVE DAYS TO GO...

Thanks to your generous pledges we are up to $160,894 and look what dropped in to our lap…

For one lucky pledge (and one lucky pledge only!) we have released a ONE OF A KIND Our Own Ron Vespa Sprint.

Thanks to CMG Motorcycles and Vespa, and styling courtesy of Mod’s Hair, you’ll be the talk of the town in your new RONabout.

We’re relying on you generous souls to spread the word and get your friends to give, whether it’s the $20 pledge to get their name in the paper or $15,000 to take ‘Ron’s Ride’ home.

Please spread the word! This is nailbiting stuff...

We've hit $100,000 - but we still have a way to go!!

Dear Our Own Ron pledgers,

Thank you. Thank you for coming on early to get us to over half way on the PledgeMe campaign! 

As of today you are part of 228 pledges that have pledged have pledged $101 785 towards our $207 000 total. This is an incredible effot. We need to double that in 10 days! It's nail biting stuff…

With any campaign of this magnitude, there is always a lull around this time. To make sure everyone knows about Ron, we've been planning RONdezvous all around town:

Labour Weekend Sausage Sizzle

We were sausage sizzling over Labour weekend to build support and momentum among our Gallery community. We met some great people and #onforron supporters.

Thanks to our friends Hellers, Three Boys, Fulton Hogan for their BBQ, Wainoni PAK’n’SAVE for the condiments and bread, St Martins New World, and Karma Cola for making it all happen.

We raised just over $5 000 – and had a lot of fun behind the BBQ!

What have we got in store for you and your friends?

Hotel Montreal are On For Ron - Thursday 26 October (tomorrow)

Hotel Montreal are On For Ron and will be hosting a Pledge Party tomorrow night. Bring your friends down for a NegRONi from 4.30pm - 7pm to pledge their support.

RONdezvous with us at Dux Central - Sunday 5 November

We’ll also be at Dux Central Sunday 5 November to see out the end of the campaign. It's a $25 ticket, with bands, food and of course Dux Lager. Keep any eye on Our Own Ron Facebook for more details 

We are now on the final countdown. You’ve already pledged, but we do still need your help!  

We’re relying on you to share any Facebook post posted by Our Own Ron or from Christchurch Art Gallery. You can email your friends to tell them you’ve given. Let people know that they can be part of a PledgeMe record. Remember– every pledge goes into the draw to win return flights for two to Singapore thanks to Singapore Airlines.

Unless we reach our $207 000 total, our dream of owning a Ron Mueck work won’t be realised. We have to reach it by 5 November.

If you have any other ideas or people you would like us to get in touch with on your behalf – please contact Jo or Hannah

Thank you for leading the way.

Our Own Ron and Christchurch Art Gallery Foundation

Thanks being ON for RON!

We've hit $20,000!

Less than a week in, and we're already well on the way to our very own Ron – thanks to all you early frontrunners! Expect to see your name printed in The Press this Saturday. It's the least we could do.

As our very first generous pledgers, we've got a special mission for you to help us spread the word about Ron.

In this online folder, you'll find a few Ron images that you can download and share on your social media channels to let all your pals now that you're on for Ron – and that they're invited to get on board as well. 

Don't forget to keep your eye out on our Facebook page as we release exciting details of our pledge party and Labour Weekend sausage sizzles (the Ron adventures don't stop once you've pledged!)
