Residents are being encouraged to ‘bring a pound to the ground’ to Salford City’s fixture against Gillingham to support a local charity.
The charity fundraiser will be in support of Foundation 92, with locals being welcomed to the Peninsula Stadium ahead of Salford City’s fixture on Saturday 5 April.
The fixture is the designated Foundation 92 Matchday, allowing the charity to highlight the extent of the huge amount of work that goes on in the community.
Foundation 92 supports the wider community offering help to those living with additional needs and disabilities, as well as tackling homelessness and supporting young people who have or may be at risk of committing offences.
And on Saturday 5 April, they will be celebrating the charities work and raising awareness to those causes by asking supporters to donate £1.
Fans at the stadium, are encouraged to bring a pound to take part in activities pre-match, cheer on their participants at half-time, as well as having the chance to win prizes & donate to fantastic causes.
These activities will take place delivered by Foundation 92 staff in Bucks Bar, where you will be able to meet the staff behind the charity, and hear about the incredible work they do.
And throughout the pre-match activities, fans will be encouraged to complete the activity cards available for a chance of winning a signed Salford City FC shirt.
Ahead of the weekend charity event, Dale Mulgrew, Fundraising Manager at Foundation 92 said: “The ‘bring a pound to the ground’ initiative has proven to be very successful at a number of football clubs and has helped many club charities to fulfil some excellent programmes thanks to the support of their fans.”
“Our focus is on our education and health programmes for this year’s Foundation 92 fixture and hopefully the money raised will help us to expand the range of people we can support in these areas to make an even bigger impact.”
Dale continued: “With a big crowd expected to come and enjoy this fixture.
“We hope that our fans will be able to support our appeal and help to ensure that those attending our weekly sessions and programmes can go on to experience the thrill of representing Salford City and to do so with pride.”
Fans who are unable to attend the game this weekend, can also donate to Foundation 92’s JustGiving page here.
Alternatively, fans will not need to bring physical cash as card readers and buckets in spaces around the ground for people to be able to donate.
