We are holding a charity cricket day on August 28th 2011 to raise money for the Sheffield children’s hospital charity.
This event will take place at our home ground of Abbeydale sports club. During day we will have a collection of events including a Junior T20 match, adult 6-a-side competition, raffle and other fundraising activities.
The Children’s Hospital Charity is part of Sheffield Children’s NHS Foundation Trust which enhances the work of the Trust by funding four key areas:
•Specialist medical equipment
•Research into the prevention and cure of childhood illness
•New facilities to extend the range of treatment provided
•Improvements to the hospital environment that will benefit patients, families and visitors
If you would like to make a donation to this great cause then there are several ways to do so, including an online system if you are unable to attend on the day, please follow this link if you would like to make donations online http://sponduly.org/project/sccc-charity-cricket-day#/project_details
On this site there are more details about the day and ways to pledge money to the charity which offer opportunities to enter raffles, sponsor teams and win many great prizes including memorabilia signed by Ex-England captain Michael Vaughan and young Yorkshire star Joe Root.
In the evening we will have a club night where there will be a pie and pea meal and music from the resident DJ Garse.
Finally the part where we ask for your help! During the afternoon we are looking to run an adult 6-a-side competition and we need people to take part in this. If you would like to play please leave a comment in the box below or contact Ben Fielding on 07776326949.
