Win a Premier League Player
18 July 2008
This autumn every Barclays Premier League football club will shine a spotlight on the valuable work undertaken by community groups, charities and schools by donating a player to their local community.
Between September and November 2008, 20 community groups will win a Premier League Player to help raise awareness of their cause and a £4,000 donation. In addition the Premier League will also award individual £4,000 donations to a further 100 community projects, charities or schools. Launched last season, Places for Players returns once again as part of Creating Chances, the Premier League’s flagship good causes programme.
As part of the application process, organisations are asked to think how they could best use a Barclays Premiership player to raise awareness of the good work that the organisation is doing in the community and also how they could use the £4,000 donation. To be eligible, organisations should be within 90 minutes travelling distance of a Premier League Club. The closing date for entries is the 1st August 2008.
