Story

Our late chairman Ron Gordon's vision for the football club was to make an impact on and off the pitch. All funds raised from the event will help pay for community lunches for those struggling most with the cost of living crisis. Over 100 elderly people, families, lone parents, registered disabled will be supported each week with the provision of hot lunches served in the stadium for a whole year.

When and where will the event take place?

The game kicks off at 3pm on Saturday 24th June, and ends 3pm on Sunday 25th June at the Hibernian Training Centre, Ormiston Road, Tranent, EH35 5NG. Players must be aged 16 or over.

How to get involved:

We ask all players to raise a sponsorship target of £100 a week prior to the event. You can opt to pay the full amount in a single payment after you have registered, or well help you set-up a JustGiving fundraising page, with tips on how you can reach your target.
