In addition to those pledges, MGLive! 2011 admission tickets

MGLive! 2011 event. The Tickets For Troops affiliation follows
on from a successful link-up in 2010.
Julian White, MG Car Club General Manager, said: “The
MGLive! organising team is honoured to be working with two
fantastic military charities. I know many of our members have
tangible links with the armed forces and will be delighted
by this news. Agreeing to join forces with Ticket For Troops
for a second successive year was an easy decision. It's clearly
a terrific organisation and the Club is thrilled to be donating
100 MGLive! day tickets In the case of Help For Heroes, we’re
determined to raise as much money as possible through programme
sales, charity auctions and a fundraising link from the MGLive!
website”.

Bryn
Parry, CEO of Help for Heroes said: "H4H is all about
‘doing your bit’ and this event is a wonderful example
of people having a good idea, rallying support and having a
great deal of fun while they raise money for a wonderful cause.
We have been able to use the £millions raised, over £86m
in just three and a half years, to provide practical and direct
support to those wounded in the current conflicts. The money
you raise is needed, it is being used and it is hugely appreciated;
sadly, we need a great deal more. MGLive! is something that
is very British and wonderful and I would like to say thank
you to the MG Car Club for this and every other fund raising
event that it inspires.”
Raleigh Addington, Operations Director of Tickets For
Troops, said: “Tickets For Troops are delighted to be once
again supported by MGLive! It’s a massive boost to the
morale of our forces to be backed in this way during these difficult
times.”
