Rest in Peace Charlie Hurley
"Charlie Hurley was one of my all-time heroes" - Sir Bob Murray
If all our fans donate just £1 on 19th April, or on the days leading up to the game, we will easily hit that £30,000 target and once again show that through the power of football we can make a difference.Foundation of Light’s Commercial Director, Phil King said “We are delighted that our ‘Give a Quid’ campaign is being endorsed by the Red and White Army. When the whole club comes together – players, fans, staff and the Foundation of Light – we can make a real difference to our communities. “Our sport and education programmes are making a positive impact on those affected by mental health issues, giving them a new outlook on life. £30,000 will go a long way to helping us support more people and further enhance a number of programmes to create a strong base on which to build positive mental health for future generations.” HOW TO GET INVOLVED: There’s lots of ways to get involved in the Give a Quid campaign. A downloadable fundraising pack is available on the Foundation of Light website for businesses or supporters’ groups who would like to get involved in the days leading up to the game. Businesses who support the campaign can also receive visits from Sunderland AFC mascots Samson and Delilah, and Foundation of Light social media team. Stuck for ideas? Why not organise a red and white day at work? Or get out of the office at lunch time and enjoy a “wellbeing walk”? Or maybe get together to chat over lunch with friends and colleagues? Donations can be made in person at the Beacon of Light, text FOLQUID to 70085 or donate online via foundationoflight.co.uk. If you are a business and would like to get involved, contact clare.wilson@foundationoflight.co.uk or call Clare on 0191 563 4777 to find out more. Join the conversation on social media using #FoLGiveaQuid.
