hugely enjoyable and exhilarating. Please see some

Yorkshire
fundraisers raise £2,000 for JAM Fund
Two charity boxing events held in Yorkshire have
raised £2,000 for the charity as well as thousands
more for other charities. Leeds based boxing promoter
Mr Gary Atkin, a family friend who knew Jamie personally,
organised the very successful events to help several
charitable organisations.
In September 2009,Gary brought none other than Sugar
Ray Leonard to the Queen's Hotel in Leeds and in
March 2010 Mike Tyson visited Leeds United's Elland
Road ground.
Both of these events proved highly successful and
were covered by the Yorkshire press and television
news.
A huge thank you to Gary Atkin and all
those involved in these high profile events which
proved wonderfully successful and helped the JAM
Fund and other charities.

WHEELCHAIR MINIBUS
HANDED
TO MARTIN HOUSE HOSPICE
The
JAM Fund was delighted to hand the keys to a brand
new wheelchair adapted Renault Master minibus to
Martin House children's hospice in October 2008.
The minibus keys were handed to Martin House representative
Stuart Andrew, by Leeds Rhinos Rugby League team
coach Brian Mclellan. The funds for the minibus
were raised by the 2007 JAM Fund Cardiff half marathon
team along with the people of Yorkshire (where Martin
House is situated) who have collectively raised
thousands of pounds for our charity.
Paul Adamson, JAM Fund chairman would like to thank
everybody concerned with this wonderful achievement
and to Mike Jones of Wigan car sales for arranging
the delivery of the vehicle to Martin House. The
mainstay of support for the charity are the South
Wales and Yorkshire areas where Jamie's family and
friends are based. The minibus has been donated
to the Hospice as a thank you to the people of Yorkshire
for their continuing and much valued support as
the charity also runs the Jamie Adamson Static caravan
holiday home which is situated in South Wales but
used by poorly children from all over the UK free
of charge for respite holidays.
The charity would also like to Thank Brian for taking
time out from his busy schedule with the Rhinos
to hand over the minibus and for kindly donating
a signed training top for auction.

"1940s revisited
JAM Fund style"
In July 2006 The Jam Fund held a 1940s themed Summer
vening Ball. This was held at Barry Memorial Hall and
was attended by the Royal Navy,RAF and Welsh Guards.
Over 200 people attended the event, entertainment was
provided by the Swansea based big band "Swingshift"
who played Glenn Millar and blues music and by the "Hoppin
Mad" Jive and swing dancers, who were amazing and
also gave demonstrations and info on how the style of
dancing in the 1940s had evolved. The Welsh museum also
provided props from the era and there were even 1940s
newspapers and "black market chocolate" on
the tables!
Thanks to everyone who
attended to show their support!
