Bid for Foundation Matchday shirts
You could own the shirt off Nathan Broadhead’s back as part of Foundation of Light’s match worn shirt auction.
SAFC’s official charity showcased their work during Saturday’s dramatic win over Gillingham at the Stadium of Light and as part of the dedicated matchday, the players wore commemorative shirts.
Great Annual Savings, the club’s principal partner, gifted their front of shirt sponsorship to the Foundation of Light for one game only as part of their Give a Quid campaign, which aims to raise £30,000 to tackle poverty across the North East.
The limited-edition shirts are now available to bid for visa online auction platform Matchworn Shirts.
All proceeds from the auction will go to the Give a Quid campaign.
GIVE A QUID CAMPAIGN
The North East has the second highest rate of child poverty in the UK, with one in three children across the region living in poverty.
Over 75% of those children, have one working adult in the household, laying bare the true impact of the cost-of-living crisis.
The Foundation works with thousands of young people and adults each year across Sunderland, South Tyneside and County Durham, supporting some of the most deprived areas in the UK.
