Carragher to donate all testimonial proceeds to charity
Jamie Carragher on the 23 Foundation, the charitable organisation to which all proceeds from his testimonial will be donated.
“It is a way of giving something back to the community. We are an organisation that raises money to support charities and organisations that help and support the youth of Merseyside.
“We decide every year where to donate the money raised, and how it can help encourage the youth of Merseyside to actively reach for their dreams by following their sporting interests.
“The aim is to give kids an avenue to express and develop their talent, and learn that there are many ways to succeed on a personal and career level by being part of a team.
“I know without the help of my team and teams I grew up with I would not have become the individual I am today. At the 23 foundation we promote the idea of “we” and “us” because together as a community.
“All the proceeds from the testimonial will go to the foundation, and we will aim to give kids a fighting chance.”
