CANCER DEADLINE DAY
Football’s transfer window provides great interest for fans every year, as players move between clubs and excitement builds towards Transfer Deadline Day.
The transfer window is now open and a new team of eight cancer charities, including our Foundation, has been invited to come together to back a campaign ending on Transfer Deadline Day (1 February).
Raising much-needed funds, the Cancer Deadline Day campaign will equally benefit: Breast Cancer Now, CLIC Sargent, Macmillan Cancer Support, Pancreatic Cancer UK, Prostate Cancer UK, The Ruth Strauss Foundation and Teenage Cancer Trust, as well as our Foundation.
Fans of clubs are being asked to donate online here, referencing their own football club as they do.

This transfer window, we are calling on all fans, players, clubs and legends of the game to help give cancer the boot – by making a donation to help charities tackling the disease.
Cancer Deadline Day, a vital new fixture on the football calendar, will raise vital funds for a consortium of eight cancer charities.
Transfer Deadline Day is one of the biggest days of the year for football fans and the British media.
It is a day like no other as clubs throughout the country spend millions of pounds on signing new players before the transfer window closes for several months.
This transfer window, Cancer Deadline Day is calling on all fans, players, clubs and legends of the game to help give cancer the boot – by making a donation to help charities tackling the disease.
Football fan bases will compete to get their club to the top of the giving table by raising the most amount of money by the end of deadline day on 1st February. To make a donation, fans can back their team through a club-specific donation page, powered by JustGiving, and select any amount.
Cancer Deadline Day will benefit a team of eight cancer charities, each of whom will receive an equal amount of the money raised.
The eight charities are: Breast Cancer Now, CLIC Sargent, Macmillan Cancer Support, Pancreatic Cancer UK, Prostate Cancer UK, The Ruth Strauss Foundation, Sir Bobby Robson Foundation and Teenage Cancer Trust.
Covid-19 has had a huge direct impact on people living with cancer, as well as on the vital fundraising for charities that support them.
