Harry Maguire, Manchester United captain, will kick-off the fundraising drive by offering the first of five money-can’t-buy prizes to be raffled each day next week.
Separately, a charity t-shirt, emblazoned with the slogan ‘United for the Heroes’, will go on pre-sale this week to raise money for the Foundation whilst paying tribute to the ‘Frontline Heroes’ of the COVID-19 crisis.
The twin initiatives are part of a new ‘Donate. Support. Unite.’ campaign to raise vital funds to enable the Foundation to expand its pandemic response across the UK and internationally, while continuing to meet elevated levels of need in local communities across Greater Manchester.
