Lightning link up with the British Heart Foundation

As most of you know the chosen charity for this season is for the British Heart Foundation, this will take place during the whole of November culminating in a cheque presentation on the ice to a guest of honour from the charity.

This season like previous ones we will be having one off shirts made for the home strip and the away strip, at the moment the design hasn't been finalised but hopefully this should be achieved within the next ten days. This will mean that we will be taking shirt sponsors before the shirts are actually revealed(or designed!). We appreciate this may not be to everyone's liking but judging by the comments the sc committee have received then it will be the charity/cause that will sell the shirts and not the design.

Again, like we did for Breast Cancer Care, Prostate Cancer, Help for Heroes and Willen Hospice, we will be looking for sponsors for the playing shirts. As we like to make the month unique and special to the shirt sponsors there will be no replica shirts available. The cost of sponsoring a shirt is £150 of which the profits will be split 50/50 between the charity and MKL.

Sponsors will have their name on the back of their chosen players shirt, name in the home matchnight programme throughout November, name on the scrolling billboard above the benches and also read out on a match night.

Shirts are open to sponsorship from 9.00 am on Monday October 10th. Anybody interested in sponsoring a shirt should send a email to This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it

After the success of H4H, Breast Cancer Care, Mo'vember and Willen Hospice charity months we are sure that this cause will be just as successful. We know that the British Heart Foundation is very close to a lot of people's hearts.
