Supporters raise thousands for Foundation

Generous Sunderland AFC fans helped raise a massive £85,000 for the club's official charity during the 2018-19 season. Foundation of Light's Grand in Your Hand Lottery tickets were sold at every home league game, giving one lucky supporter the chance to walk away from the Stadium of Light with £1,000. The Foundation receives all proceeds of the lottery to support its life-changing which engages over 70,000 course registrants every year through sports, health and education projects.

We would like to thank all Sunderland AFC supporters who bought Grand in Your Hand Lottery tickets. All funds raised on match days help us improve the lives of thousands of children, adults and families across the North East.
