Southend United Community Foundation - Raising 50k for the academy

[shanetac1]

Hello Shrimpers!

I am a volunteer on the community foundation and our amazing team are working very hard to try and reach our target of £50,000. The money is to secure new classrooms for the academy at the training facility at Garons. We currently have a few initiatives taking place and would really appreciate any donations of any size to help us reach our goal. We have the total raised so far listed on our raffle page. We will be moving that to the home page but it can currently be viewed here: https://sufccommunity.co.uk/raffle/

At the time of writing this message we are at £11,066, so we still have a way to go, but I am sure with your support we will crush it.

1. End of season Raffle - Some of you might have seen us fumbling flyers before the game and stuffing them under your nose when you are just trying to get into the game, sorry about that :). The raffle does have some fantastic prizes though, including a trip to Glasgow, Scotland, Steve Tilson signed photo - framed, Lazy Day tickets, Makita drill, c2c return tickets to London, dance lessons, and a Blue Boar pub voucher. Tickets start from as low as £2. https://sufccommunity.co.uk/raffle/
2. The one and only Mr John White is running the London Marathon. He would really appreciate your support. If you would like to donate, please visit here: https://www.justgiving.com/campaign/sucet-marathons2025
3. Play at Roots Hall! We still have a few spots left open for the fans game. You can even bring your own fans to cheer you on. £50 per person and £5 to spectate. Ages 16-100. https://southendunitedcommunityandeducationaltrust.coordinate.cloud/project/66737
4. And finally, Sammy just sent me this. He is currently training for the Mascot race at Epsom. https://www.justgiving.com/page/sammytheshrimp?utm_medium=FR&utm_source=WA&utm_campaign=015 - I think I would pay to watch that!

All donations are appreciated and every donation helps us one step closer to achieving our goal, so thank you in advance :)

If you have any questions on any of the above, please contact John at j.white@southendunited-cet.co.uk

cheers
