Its work is to care for sick, abandoned and handicapped children, as well as other unsupported people in Africa, with many of its programs and actions dependent on volunteerism, such as that from the 521 Youth Club members.
Spectator tickets for the football match cost just £5.00 per adult and £1 for the under 16s, with full proceeds going towards sending the volunteers to work on this much needed project.
Managing Director at Blue Chip comments: “We are great supporters of the Youth Club and recognise the valuable life skills that helping to build the orphanage will teach the young people, whilst helping those in Africa who need it most. It is great to have so many professional players and business people prepared to dedicate their time for this match, and it would be fantastic to have great spectator support to raise even more funds this year.”
Blue Chip is both encouraging spectators to come along and support the event, and inviting businesses to provide prizes for the raffle auction after the match. For further information, contact Kate Morris at kate.morris@
