Tavy Tars have a long and proud history of supporting the RNLI,
both through performing at big fund raising events like the Falmouth
International Shanty Festival and singing at fund raising evenings at local
sailing clubs and other locations. Additionally, we have used our
earnings from commercial singing opportunities and sponsorships to make
donations. Our latest CD, 'Take Me in Your Lifeboat' has sold very
well enabling us to donate £5.00 to the RNLI for each CD sold.
This income has also enabled us to make donations to several
worthy local causes, including youth facilities and our local sailing and gig
club development. Our latest donation is
something of a departure from our previous good causes. A good friend of the
Tars, Mel has been running a crowd funding project to raise funds for repairs
to a taxi in The Gambia. You can read all about it athttps://crowdfunding.justgiving.com/Arunas-Taxi and might even want to spread
the word and make a donation. We have decided to make up a shortfall in the
funding target as we were impressed by both the cause and Mel’s previous good
work. Perhaps Aruna could be persuaded
to play our CD in his taxi once it is back on the road!
