Story
As a family we feel so privileged to be holding our Annual "Our Olly" Wilkes Memorial Football Tournament 2023 @ the home of England football teams, St Georges Park. What an amazing venue to hold this years tournament, giving over 200 of Olly's mates the chance to play the game Olly loved so much in such a wonderful setting.
This Just Giving page is set up for potential Sponsors / Supporters & donators to help raise vital funds for the amazing Anthony Nolan Charity & to raise much needed awareness of the Anthony Nolan stem cell register. We simply need more to sign up to the stem cell register to SAVE the lives of those living with blood cancers & blood disorders.
We have this amazing opportunity to showcase what the "FOOTBALL FAMILY" can do in raising awareness of how easy it is to be a potential LIFESAVER, all in the memory of "Our Olly".
As a family we were very proud when our local Birmingham County FA teamed up with Anthony Nolan & ourselves prior to last years tournament, whereas we encourage 16-30 year olds at football clubs / teams in our area to sign up to the Anthony Nolan stem cell register. https://www.birminghamfa.com/news/2022/jun/20/olly-wilkes-tournament-collaboration
In the lead up to the tournament this year to be held on Saturday 25th November we will posting on this Just giving page, in the updates section below on how you can help with Supporting, Sponsoring or just making a donation.
We will have a 2nd Just Giving Page set up from September solely for the Grand Tournament Raffle & Auction. We already have so many wonderful prizes donated with the list growing daily for both the Raffle & Auction. RAFFLE TICKET PURCHASES will appear on the Raffle / Auction Just giving page.
ALL A LEGACY TO "OUR OLLY" IN HEAVEN.

Every day, Anthony Nolan saves the lives of people with a blood cancer or blood disorder. We do this by matching incredible individuals willing to donate their stem cells to people who desperately need a lifesaving transplant. We also carry out cutting edge scientific research, fund specialist post-transplant nurses and support patients and their families through the transplant process and beyond. We won’t stop until we save the lives of everyone who needs a stem cell transplant. Every penny you donate brings us closer to that day.
