Book May Holiday Courses to be entered into Play on the Pitch prize draw
Foundation of Light holiday course attendees this May will have the chance to play on the Stadium of Light pitch.
With just a week to go until activities get underway for the May half-term, every child between the ages of 6-14 taking part in a Foundation of Light holiday course will be entered into a prize draw to win a place at the Play on the Pitch event on Sunday 31 May.
One lucky winner will be chosen randomly to earn a free opportunity to follow in the footsteps of their Black Cats heroes and play at the Stadium of Light.
Don't worry if your child has already been booked on, they will be entered into the prize draw.
Foundation of Light holiday courses give children the chance to stay active and social in a safe environment during school holidays.
Sessions are delivered by qualified staff and cover a range of interests, whether your child is keen to develop their football skills or try out creative activities like baking or arts.
