KANO FOUNDATION: An appeal:
For anyone who attends Celtic Park on a match day I’m sure you’ll agree the site of a couple of hundred Kano kids marching into the stadium, singing their hearts out is a sight to behold. It has become an essential part of our match day experience.
For anyone who attends Celtic Park on a match day I’m sure you’ll agree the site of a couple of hundred Kano kids marching into the stadium, singing their hearts out is a sight to behold. It has become an essential part of our match day experience.
In order to bring these kids to the football, many for their first ever experience of it, the people behind the Kano foundation put in endless hours of work and commitment. To be able to provide the experience, free for all kids, needs a large amount of money.
As well as getting into the game for free, each kid gets a free pre match hot meal and a Celtic souvenir to take home.
In order to pay for this the organisers run a couple of large fundraising ventures every year, their annual dinner dance and a match day bucket collection.

These fundraisers, along with other individual donations usually raise enough to see the KF through each season.
This year they paid £20k for season tickets they have been unable to use.
In addition,due to Covid restrictions, they have been unable to raise funds in the normal way

They now desperately need to find £20k to allow them to renew for next season and keep them going till things return to normal.
This is where we need your help.
A few of us have got together and try to raise awareness of the current plight of Kano and try to do something about it

We have set ourselves the target of raising the £20k the KF need for the forthcoming season.
To date we have raised over £8k but clearly have a way to go.
With the help of the @HomeBhoys podcast we are trying to get support to raise the rest
