A team of young footballers is hoping to kick start its game with this year’s Wish campaign.
Marton Blues Under-14s is a football team which is constantly looking for ways to raise funds to allow the boys to play to their full potential.
The Middlesbrough team, which plays in the Teesside Junior Football Alliance, is aiming to give the youngsters the opportunity to play in festivals this year.
Bosses are also hoping to get new essentials such as training kits.
Last year the team used the Wish support it received to help the boys become part of a tournament in Cleethorpes.
With regards to this year’s campaign, team secretary Sharon Lance said: “We hope to raise funds to obtain new waterproof raincoats for the boys and also to fund a festival away this year.”
Every year, The Gazette’s Wish campaign gives away thousands of pounds to not-for-profit groups and organisations benefiting the Teesside community. Each registered group will be guaranteed a share of our £40,000 fund.
The more tokens a group collects, the bigger its share of the prize pot. Tokens are now appearing daily in The Gazette. The last token will appear on January 21.
Submissions for tokens will close at 5pm on Monday, February 23.
To help Marton Blues Under-14s, send your tokens to: 11 Tees Road, Redcar, Cleveland, TS10 1QD.
