Win unique prizes with Foundation of Light Day prize draws
Foundation of Light is offering Sunderland AFC fans the chance to win some special prizes ahead of Foundation of Light Day.
Amongst the prizes is the unique opportunity to take a penalty against SAFC mascot Samson at half-time during the match against QPR at the Stadium Light on March 16.
Foundation of Light Day is a dedicated matchday raising awareness and funds for the work of Sunderland AFC’s official charity partner.
This year, Foundation activities are linked to our Heart on your Sleeve campaign. The campaign urges Sunderland supporters to come together to help and inspire one another.
Heart on your Sleeve focuses on three main areas of wellbeing – passion, physical health, and mental health.
Crowdfunder draws offer supporters the chance to win prizes with entries into a draw in return for a donation.
The first batch of prizes include a matchday mascot place on Foundation of Light Day, a signed Jack Clarke shirt and print, a signed Josh Kelly bundle including boxing gloves and a poster, and the chance to take a penalty on the Stadium of Light pitch against Samson.
