CHARITY FOOTBALL MATCH RETURNS TO RAISE VITAL FUNDS FOR CANCER RSEARCH UK.
SUTTON COLDFIELD football fans are being urged to join local soccer legends The Aston Villa Old Stars and ex Sutton Town player Andy Biddle, by attending a Charity Football Match at Sutton Coldfield Town FC on Sunday 3rd May 2009
The Charity Football Match in aid of Cancer Research UK is being organised by local fundraiser Judy Mee, after seeing her father suffer from cancer.
Judy’s debut event which took place in May 2008 raised more than £3,000 for charity and she is hoping that this year’s event will raise even more for her favourite charity.
The Charity Football Match involves players from The Aston Villa Old Stars (who are celebrating 50 years of fundraising this year), includes members of the European Cup winning squad and ex players and a Sutton Coldfield Over 35’s team captained by Andy Biddle.
There will be a raffle draw taking place at half time with many prizes. After the match there will be a presentation of Man of The Match Awards.
Miranda Williams, Cancer Research UK’s Area Volunteer Manager for the West Midlands said “Judy has done an amazing job organising this fantastic event and it promises to be a great day out for football fans and families alike.
“Cancer Research UK is extremely pleased to be chosen as one of the charities to benefit from the Charity Football Match. This event gives football fans the opportunity to have fun and at the same time raise money for a good cause”
Event organiser Judy added: "We had tremendous support from people in Sutton Coldfield at last year’s event and we hope that they will be coming along again to show their support on Bank Holiday Sunday May 3rd”.
Kick off is at 2.30pm and entry costs £2.00 per person.
