Zoe Smith Fund

Zoe had an all-consuming love of the game – she was a supporter who put the fan in fanatic. Zoe’s A-list of contacts was legendary. She had a hot line to famous Scots, footballers, boxers, darts players, snooker players, celebs, etc. She seemed to know every referee and linesman in Scotland and many opposition players when they visited Central Park.

Zoe helped raise funds for so many causes and she singlehandedly raised no less than £17,500 for Cowdenbeath FC’s Club 135 appeal. That was an absolutely astonishing effort. We can only thank Zoe from the bottom of our hearts. She undertook the Tough Mudder challenge plus swimming events in Loch Lomond, Bardowie Loch and the River Forth to raise sponsorship monies – much of which was contributed by an amazing array of big names who she persuaded to put up a tenner. Both the Club and the 100 Club at their Sportsmans Dinners were able to offer a tremendous range of autographed auction items secured by Zoe from her fabulous list of contacts and friends. Her main regret was that she failed to get anything from Tiger Woods. These auction items raised another five figure sum for CFC.

We look to honour Zoe’s memory by putting her name to a fund which members can make an additional contribute of £2 a month to. This money accumulated in this fund will be set aside and members will decide how they wish for the funds to be spent.
