Charity football event kicks off

MCV Staff 13th February 2012 Business News

A new industry five-a-side football tournament is set to raise over 2,000 for GamesAid.

Organised by London creative agency SJS, the event will kick off on Tuesday, March 27th at Lucozade’s Power League at Wembley. SJS is hoping to attract around eight to 12 teams in a bid to raise over 2,000 for the industry charity.

You can enter a squad of eight players for 250.

We’ve already had a really positive response from our industry friends,” said SJS director Rachel Norman. We are confident we can meet, if not exceed, our target for GamesAid and make this an annual event.

"Personally, I’m looking forward to seeing the boys in their shorts.”

GamesAid distributes funds to charities which specialise in helping the young and disadvantaged.

Those interested in taking part in the tournament can email rachel@sjslondon.com or call SJS on 020 7421 9400.
