SOUTHAMPTON Football Club’s main club partner has donated their shirt sponsorship and £10k to o Saints Foundation for the Easter Sunday clash against Burnley.
To help raise awareness and vital funds for the charity, Sportsbet.io has donated heir shirt sponsorship to Saints Foundation, which will be displayed across the first team’s shirts during the match at St Mary’s on Sunday, April 4.
The match worn shirts will then be auctioned off to raise further money to support the work Saints Foundation carry out in the local community.
Saints Foundation are asking fans to show their support during the charity matchday by making a £10 donation to the charity in place of the money they would usually spend on a match ticket.
By donating, they will be cheering on the Saints transforming lives in the community, as well as those on the pitch.
As a further show of their support for the charity, Sportsbet.io have kindly agreed to match the first 1,000 donations made by fans ahead of the charity matchday, up to a total of £10,000.
It comes after a difficult year for Saints Foundation, who have missed out on over £300,000 of expected fundraising income at a time when the Foundation’s services are desperately needed.
Despite those challenges, Saints Foundation has continued to support thousands of people in need across Southampton and the surrounding area during the past 12 months.
