All proceeds go to The Christie Charity. Whether you’re a local business looking to sponsor, a company team ready to compete, or just fancy getting involved for a good cause — we’ve got a place for you.
Expect a day of footie, fun, and fundraising, all powered by the MRJ community and open to everyone who wants to make a difference.
Let’s do some good together!
Who Are We Fundraising For?
Formed in 2021 during the height of the pandemic, our Footie Fundraiser was created to help raise money for The Christie Charity.
The Christie Charity raises money and receives donations on behalf of those affected with cancer in order to make sure they can receive outstanding care, leading treatments, and the best outcomes.
The organisation raises money for a range of vital projects and initiatives focusing on four main areas: research, care and treatment, education and extra patient services.
We’ve raised just shy of £25,000 so far, with the aim of reaching as close to £30,000 as possible…but we need your help!
