EVERTON FC CHEQUE PRESENTATION AT GOODISON PARK

On Saturday August 30th 2008 members of Down Syndrome Liverpool were invited to Goodison Park to receive a cheque for the sum of £5725.00.

The donation came from former Everton player Lee Carsley, who had just months previously donated £1000 to our charity. Lee, now at Birmingham City has once again shown huge generosity to Down Syndrome Liverpool, to put some perspective into his latest act of goodwill this amount is equal to a years funding for DSL.

On the day Everton Chairman Bill Kenwright made sure we were looked after by giving us front row seats in the directors box! A great gesture, he even asked little Shauna if she wanted to sit next to him!

Cheers Bill.

Meanwhile, out on the pitch our truly memorable day wasn't to be completed by a win for the Blues. Sadly, Portsmouth hadn't read the script and we were beaten 3-0 And so it's back to my cheap seat in the Gwladys Street for the next home match!
