Save the Children Campaign

We are extremely pleased to announce that we will be supporting Save the Children throughout the 2012 and 2013 seasons. Save the Children is an international children's charity based in the UK, which supports both emergency and long-term relief projects around the world.

Following a personal donation the Club, we have sacrificed the main advertising space on the front of our new Junior and Senior match shirts to display the Save the Children logo. In addition, over the next two years we'll also be coordinating a series of fundraising events to raise precious funds for Save the Children. Find out how you can donate to our campaign later in this email.

We'd like to take this opportunity to thank our donor: Iqbal Anjum, Consultant Urologist at Milton Keynes General Hospital. Iqbal was involved in devising this charitable proposal from the beginning, and helped in choosing Save the Children as our charity sponsor. He chose to work with Eversholt Cricket Club in order to raise the awareness of Save the Children at nearly 200 matches over the next two years.

For every £1 that the Club raises during our Save the Children campaign, Save the Children will use 87p to benefit children and us the remaining 13p to raise the next £1.

What is Save the Children doing right now?

Distributing life-saving water and treating malnourished children affected by the drought in East Africa.
Getting essentials to children who face a winter of hunger in Afghanistan.
In countries such as Sierra Leone, they are building stronger health systems.
