Fans help raise thousands for the charity
All things Community Sports Foundation were celebrated at Carrow Road on Tuesday evening, for the charity’s ‘Take Over’ fixture.
The initiative saw £2 of every adult ticket sale and £1 of every other ticket for the Canaries’ Carabao Cup clash with Birmingham City donated to the Foundation.
With the total attendance amounting to an incredible 18,971, over £24,000 will now go towards the Foundation’s disability initiatives, which will mean close to 150 disabled children and adults can enjoy a full season of funded activity.
A night to remember
Pre-match, fans young and old were treated to a selection of free activities including basketball, football, face painting, a photo booth and music from two DJs.
The Foundation disability dance troupe, the All Stars, took to a stage to show off their dance moves, while the charity’s mascot, Sportasaurus, was on hand for selfies.
Inside the stadium, there was a surprise treat in store for our Down’s Syndrome football team, as they got the chance to play a small-sided game on the pitch, prior to the player warm-ups.
As well as meeting former City favourite and continued supporter of the Foundation, John Ruddy, the participants got the chance to say hello to his new teammates Troy Deeney and on-loan Canary Przemysław Płacheta.
