The Prize

Take to the Stadium of Light pitch for a special half time penalty shoot-out against Sunderland AFC mascot Samson the Cat.

The Black Cat will jump between the sticks as you go head to head with fellow supporters and try and score from the spot!

The shoot-out will take place when SAFC host Millwall on Saturday 29 March.

The Cause

Wear One encourages everyone to come together and support each other in these challenging times.

With 35% of children in Sunderland living in poverty, this campaign is more critical than ever. Through collective effort, we can provide a much-needed hand up to those striving to improve their lives and gain employment.

In the last year, the Foundation has upskilled 1,304 learners, helped 88 people gain employment and supported 631 participants seeking employment.

Foundation of Light needs to raise over £4 million each year to continue to support the local community and help those looking to get back into employment.

  • £3 would give someone access to our healthy lifestyle fitness programme

  • £20 would teach a family how to cook healthy meals on a budget
