Boots for Africa

Charity to benefit from Centenary Match auction
17.11.2007

A charity which provides football boots for under privileged children in South Africa can look forward to a revenue boost,  following the input of sports based business development consultancy Work The Channels. Boots For Africa, which collects and transports unwanted football boots to Africa for disadvantaged youngsters to wear, will be given a financial boost when match worn merchandise from Sheffield FC’s anniversary with Italian giants Inter Milan goes under the hammer in a forthcoming auction. The products are also signed by the players who took part in a thrilling match at Bramall Lane, the home of Championship side Sheffield United recently which saw Inter Milan run out 5-2 winners. Sheffield FC Manager Dave McCarthy said: “The products featured the charity’s logo which helped raise awareness of the Boots For Africa cause, and on behalf of Sheffield FC I would like to thank Work The Channels for their professional assistance.”
