CELTIC FC Foundation last week launched its 2018 Christmas Appeal. The appeal lies at the very heart of why our club was formed and honours the founding principles which were set out that day in 1887, as we aim to continue to help those in our community who are most in need.
Once again, the club has provided fantastic backing to the appeal by kicking it off with a wonderful donation of £10,000.
Through the appeal, we want to help hundreds of local families who are facing poverty. We want to give them the kind of Christmas that we all take for granted. With lots of food on the table and gifts for the kids. Making sure Santa pays a visit on Christmas Eve is a massive priority for all of us.
We are also looking to support a number of local pensioners, by lending a hand at a difficult time of year, as well as a host of other local charities that support children, the homeless, women and children living in refuge, refugees and those facing other challenges.
The Celtic Family is renowned for its generosity and compassion and we are requesting your support once again, to get behind this year’s Christmas Appeal and help us to provide comfort to those in our communities.
As well as encouraging donations, Celtic FC Foundation will also be repeating a host of fundraising events and initiatives, as part of the appeal. These include:
Celtic Sleep Out, Glasgow, on Saturday, November 17 and the Celtic Sleep Out, London, on Friday, November 23.
Ghirls for Good festive extravaganza on Saturday, December 1.
Our annual Christmas Appeal matchday bucket collection at the SPFL Kilmarnock match on Saturday, December 8.
Light Up the Clover event at the FC Salzburg UEFA Europa League match on Thursday, December 13.
