#EamonZayedRule - Playworks Day in Broad Ripple Park (8/27/2016)


This Saturday August 27th Playworks Indiana will host a fun day for people of all ages in Broad Ripple Park from 2pm - 4pm. We encourage all members of the Brickyard Battalion and all Indy Eleven supporters to come along and get to know Playworks and what they do for children in Indianapolis Schools.

If you were not aware Bloody Shambles and Permanent Relegation along with Indy Eleven's Éamon Zayed have been raising money for Playworks in a season long initiative to support what they do in our community. You can read more about #EamonZayedRule HERE.

The event on Saturday is free, please come along and have fun with us, bring your kids and enjoy. Donations are welcome if you would like to help us reach our target of $2000 we have set for Éamon's charity of choice. If you would like to learn more about what Playworks do for children in our Schools CLICK HERE.

If you cannot attend but would simply like to make a donation we have a secure donation page set up by Playworks Indy DONATE HERE.

You can also help by sharing this information with friends and fellow supporters and encourage people to come along and attend. We will also have "Playworks" present at the Indy Eleven Watch Party at Union Jack Pub in Broad Ripple on Sunday 28th for the 2pm game against Ottawa Fury.

If you work up a thirst and an appetite on Saturday, head on over to Union Jack pub afterwards for some great food and beer choices!

#EamonZayedRule - Helping Children Have More Fun - Summer Update (8/2/16)

Éamon Zayed on track to be NASL's leading scorer in 2016

Earlier this year the crew at Bloody Shambles came up with the idea of giving back to our local community by way of a charitable endeavor. After an interview with Éamon Zayed before the season began we decided to encourage people to donate money for every goal that Zayed scores for Indy Eleven for the 2016 season.

The #EamonZayedRule was originally created by a foreign government to control and restrict Zayed's eligibility status for soccer clubs within that country. 

"The rule was initially brought out to wrongfully prevent me from playing the game I love and nobody , especially kids should ever be prevented from playing and enjoying themselves!" -Éamon Zayed

We are taking back the #EamonZayedRule and making Indiana a better place in the process by partnering with Playworks Indiana and donating. Bloody Shambles and Permanent Relegation Podcast have joined forces to try and raise $2000 for Playworks Indiana by the end of the 2016 season.

Éamon has scored twelve goals in competitive play at the time of writing (8/4/2016), eleven goals in the NASL and one goal in the US Open Cup. At the moment we have $33.50 in pledges per goal so Éamon has earned the cause about $402 so far.

Playworks - Bringing the Power of Play to local Schools.
We have been collecting donations online through our DONATION PAGE and also at BYB tailgates and watch parties at Chatham Tap in Fishers and Union Jack Pub in Broad Ripple. The total raised in donations so far is $544.

Permanent Relegation's Game of Kings II Euchre Tournament raised a staggering $912 for the cause putting our total for the moment outside of pledges at $1436! If all pledges are honored we will have raised $1858 to date!
