Win unique memorabilia in prize draws
We have launched another round of prize draws on Crowdfunder with all proceeds supporting Foundation of Light.
Among the unique memorabilia up for grabs is a signed and framed Niall Quinn Republic of Ireland shirt, a bundle of Corry Evans signed merchandise including a print, boots, and training kit, and a signed bundle celebrating 250 Sunderland appearances for Luke O’Nien.
Crowdfunder draws offer supporters the chance to win prizes by buying entries into a random draw, with the proceeds helping the Foundation in our delivery of the Heart on your Sleeve campaign.
Here’s how your money could help:
- £5 would pay for a young person with a disability access to a sports session
- £8 pays for an older person to attend activities to stay socially active and improve physical and mental wellbeing
- £40 will pay for a young person to have access to sessions supporting their physical, mental, and emotional health
- £100 allows us to develop mental health resources to support up to five people
