Aberdeen Fans Asked To Vote For Charity

23 October 2012 22:01
Weatherseal and the 12 SPL clubs including Aberdeen have launched the league's first official Charity Weekend.

Aberdeen supporters will have the opportunity to vote with fans of the other 11 SPL clubs for their chosen charity that will benefit from activity at all league games on the weekend of 8-9 December.

A shortlist of five charities has been selected by the clubs. They are: Children's Hospice Association Scotland (CHAS), Samaritans Scotland, Shelter Scotland, Football Memories as part of Alzheimer Scotland, and Scottish Women's Aid.

The chosen charity will benefit from collections at all fixtures. Weatherseal, the SPL's official home improvement partner will also gift their marketing rights for that weekend. This includes advertising space and digital perimeter display boards.

Voting is now open via a dedicated website, www.weatherseal-charity.co.uk. The poll closes on 29 October.

Gordon Duncan of fans group Dons Supporters Together said: "Dons Supporters Together is delighted to support the first Weatherseal/SPL charity weekend on the weekend of 8 December 2012 when we visit Hearts at Tynecastle.

"Hopefully fans of all SPL clubs will dig deep that weekend to assist the chosen charity."
