Fundraising: Corporate Football Tournament

After the success of the ABC University Tournament in December 2009, ABC is continuing with the football theme to support and raise funds for the first ever Street Child World Cup, by organising a corporate football tournament which will take place on the 25th of April 2010.

We will be hosting the tournament in the recently converted tunnels beneath London Bridge station, in the innovative new football venue Tunnel 47. Company teams from across London will battle it out on these unique 5-a-side pitches for the chance to lift the trophy and at the same time provide invaluable support for a unique campaign with the aim that that no child need ever sleep on the streets of Brazil again.

i
Teams will also be in with the chance of winning a range of exclusive prizes, including a Brazilian football signed by one of the world’s greatest footballers, Pelé and an England shirt signed by England and Arsenal striker Ian Wright and much more. The winning team will be presented with the ABC Trophy by Chelsea midfielder, Deco – a Brazilian born Portuguese international who has excelled for Barcelona, Chelsea and Portugal in a stellar career.

Refreshments and a boost of much needed energy will be provided by new fruity drink company, Orbana Healthy Energy, during the games and after the final match all teams are invited to join us for drinks and canapés to help wind down after the thrills and spills of the tournament.

To take part in this event we are asking each player that enters to raise (through sponsorship) £250 to participate. All funds raised from the tournament will be put towards supporting Team Brasil at the Street Child World Cup.

ABC Trust is leading the Brazil team in the Street Child World Cup 2010 in which, for the first time, the voices of street children from around the world will be heard. This is a ground-breaking international campaign that is taking eight teams of street children from eight different countries from around the word to Durban in March 2010, to take part in the world’s first Street Child World Cup. The children will be given the chance to share their stories and experiences at an international conference, where the aim is to pinpoint the issues, and to develop sustainable and effective solutions to the issues facing street children around the world.

ABC will not only be funding the team’s participation during the project, but will also be offering a number of support programmes for the children upon their return to Brazil, where they will recall their experiences through photographic presentations and diary blogs. The money raised through the football tournament will also be used to fund a 4 year national campaign to defend the rights of street children which will be led by the voices of these young people of Team Brasil.
