We've reached £15,000

It is a fantastic achievement for the campaign which originally set out to raise £200 to sponsor a youth team player with a second target of sponsoring a Centre of Excellence team through this season. We've done both of those and provided the youth development team at Burnley with items already totalling in excess of £8,000.

Sweepstakes, football matches, dinners, a golf tournament, auctions and one member of the message board running a marathon in Pattaya have all helped swell the fund to the current total. We have even got a sweepstake running right now on when the Clarets will next get and scored a penalty.

With some events still to come, and some more auctions to follow, the fund could yet be boosted significantly beyond the current total.
