We at ShrimperZone FC are currently in the process of organising a charity football event, to raise money and awareness for the Angelina Our Star Appeal. The main event will be a continuous 11-a-side “Sunrise to Sunset” football match.
The Angelina Our Star Appeal (charity number: 235825) is a local charity that has been set up in memory of Angelina Vidler, who lost her life at the age of 5and a half to Wilms’ tumor – a rare childhood cancer. All monies raised will help to fund a new project at Great Ormond Street Childrens’ Hospital, which will transform the Hospital's ability to develop safer and more effective new treatments for children with cancer. For more information about the charity please see their website http://www.angelinaourstar.org.uk/.
We would ask the good folk of ShrimperZone to lend their support in any way they can. Be it joining the SZ.com team, who will be playing during the match, (as managed by McNasty), donating raffle / auction prizes, or sponsoring the event through http://www.justgiving.com/angelinaourstar. We would ask that anyone who sponsors through the justgiving site adds SZ in their comments so that we can monitor how much we raise.
The event itself will be held on Saturday 9th May at the PlayFootball centre (next to The Chase in Prittlewell – http://www.playfootball.net/Southend/index.htm ) who have kindly agreed to let us hold the event there. In accordance with the sunrise and sunset times for this date the game will kick off at precisely 5.11am and the final whistle will be at 8.35pm.
As well as having the “Sunrise to Sunset” football match going on we are planning on having other methods to raise money for the Angelina Our Star Appeal. Subject to confirmation, these are likely to include; a raffle, crossbar challenge and a hardest shot competition. In addition, we plan on making a night of it as well, and will have full use of the Function Room in the evening for a well-deserved drink.
It would be really good to see as many people over there as possible, either during the day or in the bar in the evening. If anyone requires any further information on the event or how they can get involved, please feel free to pm me or TheFlyingScotsman.
Thanks for your time, and your support.
