MMD GPHC Ltd is to sponsor Laxey Football Club’s junior team kits for the upcoming season.
As part of this new sponsorship, each junior kit will feature the logo of Wish Upon a Dream.
Wish Upon a Dream is a Manx charity dedicated to granting wishes to children on the Isle of Man living with terminal or life-limiting illnesses.
Community
Gary Blakemore, Group Financial Director at MMD GPHC Ltd, said: “Having developed a strong relationship with Laxey AFC over the years, we were honoured to be considered for this opportunity following the conclusion of their previous sponsorship.
“Supporting the club’s junior squads was an easy decision, but we wanted to do more with the platform this sponsorship provides. That’s why we’re so proud to share this opportunity with Wish Upon a Dream, a truly remarkable charity.
“Our hope is that by featuring their logo on the junior kits, more people will become aware of the incredible work they do, and feel inspired to support their mission.”
‘Thrilled’
Mike Murley, Club Secretary at Laxey AFC, added: “We’re thrilled to partner with MMD and Wish Upon a Dream in this unique initiative, which will benefit over 250 junior players and 30 coaches across our club.
“MMD has supported us for many years, and their generosity continues to be instrumental in the growth of our junior programme and the strong community spirit we strive to create on and off the pitch.
“Just as importantly, this partnership helps raise awareness for Wish Upon a Dream. We believe every child deserves joy, hope and meaningful memories with their families. We’re proud to stand behind the incredible work this charity does.”
Supporting Charity
To further support the cause, Laxey AFC has pledged to donate £1 for every night a TT camper stays at its campsite next year, an initiative expected to raise more than £2,000 for the charity.
Lesley Turnbull MBE, Founder and Director of Wish Upon a Dream, said: “We are truly honoured to be the chosen charity in this wonderful collaboration with MMD and Laxey AFC.
“This partnership will help raise awareness across the island about the work we do for children facing the most difficult circumstances. We’re excited to work alongside two organisations who share our values and our passion for making a difference.”
