On Sunday 5 May, Farnborough Football Club hosts a Charity Football Match between AS Camboli 2024 and AS Camboli Legends - fundraising for Evelina Children's Heart Organisation.
On Sunday 5 May, the AS Camboli football team will once again compete against AS Camboli ‘Legends’ from the past.
Turnstiles open at 12pm.
Kick-off is at 1pm.
A wonderful event hosted by Farnborough Football Club that has raised over £21,000 for good causes over the past few years!
This year THE ECHO TROPHY is proud to once again support The Evelina Children’s Heart Organisation.
ECHO is a fabulous charity run by volunteers, that supports children and young people with heart conditions and their families, who’ve been treated by Evelina London and its network hospitals across the UK.
“Our son, Daniel, was born with congenital heart defects… ECHO supported us during this difficult time.” – ECHO Organiser Tom Welburn
Families are supported at every stage of their heart child’s journey from the moment of diagnosis through childhood, teenage years and during the transition to adult services.
ECHO provides practical and emotional support and welcomes families into a community of shared experience and understanding, at times when there is little other help available.
This year we will also be raising money for Emily Rice, 19, who faces a gruelling and expensive battle against a grade 4 glioblastoma brain cancer.
Ongoing treatment, supplements, medication costs her parents over £600 per month and future treatment and immunotherapy to give her the best chance of survival goes into the hundreds of thousands.
Every penny from the match including ticket sales, player sponsorship, mascots, raffles etc. will be going to the two charities.
To help us raise funds for ECHO and Emily, please support our event by making a donation and coming down and joining us on Sunday 5 May.
Donations for our Raffle and auction are greatfully received. Anyone who would like to donate raffle and auction prizes, sponsor our event, provide a stand for a cake sale or any other business to help our fundraising efforts will be warmly welcomed.
Donations can also be made online here.
Please share with friends and family far and wide to help make the day a success!
For Tickets, player/mascot details, or to donate, contact Tom Welburn (tomstoons@gmail.com) or Sharon Welburn (sharon@littlewellies.co.uk).
