Stevenage Football Club has raised over £3,000 to date for Stevenage Community Trust, the Club’s chosen Charity for the 2019/20 season, with all the money going directly to support projects, charities and people in need in and around Stevenage…
Saturday’s match against Leyton Orient was the focal point of this partnership, with the Stevenage FC First Team wearing a special edition Charity Third Shirt for the first time in the Club’s history.
£3,169.00 has been raised so far, comprising of Saturday’s bucket collection, Replica Shirt sales and a Charity Dinner Auction.
President of the Trust Ken Follett and Mayor of Stevenage Simon Speller joined Chairman Robert Stewart and many other Trust Members at the match on Saturday to celebrate the coming together of sport and business in Stevenage.
Chairman Robert Stewart said, “In our 30th anniversary year the Stevenage Community Trust are immensely grateful to Stevenage FC and in particular to their CEO, Alex Tunbridge who so kindly arranged for the team to wear shirts with our logo on for the game against Leyton Orient.
“Personally I felt a real sense of pride seeing the team come out of the tunnel, the shirts looked amazing and the generosity of the Stevenage FC fans buying shirts with the Stevenage Community Trust logo on and gifting monies through the bucket collection epitomised what a great town we live and work in.”
Alex Tunbridge, CEO of Stevenage Football Club said “We have been delighted to support Stevenage Community Trust through our Third Shirt initiative and are very thankful for our supporters, for helping to support the charity through purchasing the limited edition shirts over the past month.”
Match worn shirts will be auctioned online later this month and replica shirts are still available to purchase from the Club Shop or www.stevenagefcshop.com, to help add to the growing total.
