Boro fans can now bid on match-worn ‘No More Red’ shirts, with all proceeds going to the Chris Cave Foundation.
As part of a powerful campaign to highlight the devastating impact of knife crime in our region, Boro took to the pitch for last Saturday’s match against Coventry City wearing all white Errea kits in place of the club’s usual iconic red.
Supporters can now bid on these unique match-worn items, and help raise money for the Chris Cave Foundation in the process.
Chris Cave was an innocent and fatal victim of knife crime in Redcar in 2003, aged just 17, and his mother Theresa established the Foundation in his name in 2005. Theresa spoke pitchside ahead of Saturday’s match, reinforcing the importance of the ‘No More Red’ message and the impact of this campaign, particularly among young people.
The Chris Cave Foundation supports and educates families and local communities affected by violent crimes, whilst providing an outlet for young people influenced by violent crime to focus their energy and gain new skills.
Bidding is now open, and runs until 8pm on Tuesday 12 November. The auction is being hosted by MFC Foundation, with the chosen provider selected in order to minimise fees and ensure the maximum proceeds are donated to the Chris Cave Foundation. Supporters must register for a free account to access bidding.
Non-match worn shirts produced for the match will be made available in future fundraising events, meaning supporters unable to bid can still be in with a chance of winning one of these rare items.
