#WEARINGITFORBRADLEY
SUNDERLAND AFC KEROCHE (Kenya) ARE PRIVILEGED, PROUD AND SO HAPPY TO ANNOUNCE OUR NEW PARTNERSHIP WITH THE BRADLEY LOWERY FOUNDATION IN THE UK.
On Friday 5th April 2020 our UK president Gary Lamb and Vice president John Eilbeck had a meeting with LYNN MURPHY, the head of communications and fundraising at the BRADLEY LOWERY FOUNDATION and we are so pleased to announce our new partnership, which will hashtag under the logo of
#WEARINGITFORBRADLEY
In the partnership LYNN shall become an admin on our teams Facebook page, to help us with her marketing skills, and our Vice President John Eilbeck has offered to do voluntary work at the Bradley Lowery Foundation.
How will this work ?
Both organisations will benefit from the partnership, in the following ways.
Sunderland AFC Keroche (Kenya) have a total of 130 children in our academy in 5 different categories
(a) Junior Academy
(b) Under 13’s Academy
(c) Under 15’s Academy
(d) Under 17’s Academy                                                                                                                         (e) Senior Academy                                                                                                                             plus 30 players in our 1st team squad
Our aim is for all our academy children to wear the BRADLEY LOWERY SHIRT in memory of their little hero.
(During our last visit to Kenya, all the children, were told Bradleys inspirational story, and are aware how much it means to wear his shirt)
And our 1st team shall wear Bradleys shirt in any cup competition
We currently have a total of 43 Bradley shirts between our children’s and Junior academies, and are hoping our UK fans can donate more shirts, so that all our academy kids can wear them, but also our 1st team wear them in any Cup Competition.
This is how you can do it:
If you click on the following link, to the Bradley Lowery Foundation website shop, you can purchase any size shirt for only £10, either with or without the Dafabet Logo
https://bradleyloweryfoundation.com/shop/
The Bradley Lowery Foundation shall benefit from the sales of the shirts, then when you fill in the address to send the shirt, Simply put in the following;
SAFC KEROCHE
c/o Mr. John Eilbeck,
“CASTLEDENE”
Dene Rd.
Seaham,
Co. Durham.
SR7 8QW
our club and academy will then benefit from the shirts
We are hoping to get the following shirts
age 7-8yrs 10 shirts (now fulfilled) THANK YOU
age 9-10yrs 10 shirts (now fulfilled) THANK YOU
age 11-12yrs 5 shirts (now fulfilled) THANK YOU

But we still require the following:
Size Small 25 shirts (with Dafabet logo)
Size Medium 25 shirts (with Dafabet logo)
Large 15 shirts (with Dafabet logo)
Please Note:
If we able to get over and above our intended target, we shall give away any excess shirts to our fans, who could never afford to own their own shirt. Because a football shirt in Kenya is the equivalent of 2 months wages (To those who are lucky enough to have a job)
(So we’ll be painting the whole of our region, RED & WHITE)
So if you would like to help both organisations for only £10, we would be eternally grateful.
We would like to thank the BRADLEY LOWERY FOUNDATION, for this wonderful gesture, and hope we have a wonderful future partnership.
On behalf of both parties, we ask if you can help for only £10, please just follow the above instructions
THANK YOU IN ADVANCE TO ANYONE WHO DONATES
#WEARINGITFORBRADLEY

Can you help to keep our club alive ?

Our club and academy can only survive and thrive, through either sponsorships, donations or contributions from Sunderland fans or football fans worldwide.

All donations are gratefully received, and go towards the future progression of Sunderland AFC Naivasha and our academy.

NOT ALL DONATIONS NEED TO BE FINANCIAL:- We are always on the lookout for any type of football related items such as good 2nd hand kits, footballs, 2nd hand Sunderland shirts (both kids and adults) but most importantly good 2nd hand football boots of all sizes especially adult sizes 6, 7, 8, 9 and 10, as due to the hard surfaces of Kenyan pitches along with our players training 4 days a week, each 1st team player goes through 3 pairs per season. If you can help in any way please contact our UK President GARY LAMB, from Seaham, UK on UK tel. number;- 07880732078

HOW DO WE USE YOUR DONATIONS?
ALL SPONSORSHIP MONEY/DONATIONS/CONTRIBUTIONS GO INTO A CENTRAL POOL, TO COVER THE BASIC COSTS OF RUNNING THE ACADEMY AND 1st TEAM.

BY DOING THIS, IT MEANS THE ACADEMY PLAYERS, WHO ARE UNFORTUNATELY NOT SPONSORED, STILL BENEFIT AND WE CAN IMPROVE THEIR TALENTS, AND CREATE “EQUAL OPPORTUNITIES” FOR ALL OUR PLAYERS.

THIS MONEY IS HELD IN A UK BANK ACCOUNT, AND SENT TO THE TEAM VIA POST OFFICE “MONEYGRAM” TRANSACTIONS, AS AND WHEN REQUIRED.

MAIN EXPENSES INCLUDE;-
LEAGUE REGISTRATION FEES (35,000ksh per season)
PLAYERS REGISTRATION FEES (300ksh per player, per season)
PLAYERS REGISTRATION CARDS (Which must be shown to match officials at all games)
REFEREES FEES (7,500ksh per game, both home & away in Div. 1)
SECURITY FEES AT HOME GAMES (All teams must supply a minimum of 2 uniformed and armed, security personnel at all home games, @ 2,000ksh per guard)
TRAVEL EXPENSES TO AWAY GAMES (This is our biggest outlay during the season, now that we are competing in National division 1, a lot of our away games means we must leave the day before, as some journeys are up to 15hrs each way)
PRINTING COSTS (Of FKF official paperwork, registrations, training schedules etc)
ENTRY FEES TO CUP TOURNAMENTS (Varies depending on the tournament)
STOCKING OF FIRST AID KIT (A league requirement)
REPAIRS TO BALLS (150ksh per ball = approx. £1.20p. EXAMPLE; due to the conditions of Kenyan pitches, we average 6 repairs per week)
REPLACEMENT KIT, (But only If urgently required, and the required items have not been donated, this is mainly boots)

ETC. ETC.

PLEASE NOTE;
No player, coach or official within the SUNDERLAND AFC NAIVASHA organisation receives any form of payment, except one of our players who has no job, cleans all our kit, he receives 500ksh per week = approx £3.50p per week. On some weeks, he might wash 3 full sets of kit, if any our academy age groups also have games.

Every penny donated goes to our club and academy.

All monies raised go into the future progression of the Sunderland AFC Keroche 1st team, and our academy.
