SAFC Stars take on Jenga challenge for mental health awareness
Sunderland AFC stars took part in a Jenga challenge to spread the message of the importance of opening up with others on Mental Health Awareness Week.
Another round of prize draws has been launched ahead of Foundation of Light Day.
Ahead of our dedicated Sunderland AFC matchday, the Foundation is bringing supporters the chance to win one-off prizes and experiences.
On Foundation of Light Day, we will be raising awareness and funds for our ‘Heart on your Sleeve’ campaign which is using the power of football to urge Sunderland supporters to come together to help and inspire one another.
Heart on your Sleeve focuses on three main areas of wellbeing – passion, physical health, and mental health.
Our Crowdfunder draws offer supporters the chance to purchase entries into a random draw, with the proceeds supporting Foundation of Light.
