Arsenal and Chelsea have both pledged to donate their match fees from this upcoming August’s Community Shield to the Grenfell Tower fire victims. The match is expected to raise roughly £1.25 million, which will be donated to the victims of the apartment building fire in London that claimed dozens of lives.
Arsenal executive Ivan Gazidis said, “The club stands side by side with Chelsea in reaching out to the community and expressing our support and solidarity for those who have lost friends and family, their homes and their sense of security in the wake of this tragic event.
