With another thrilling Football League season over, Sky Bet are updating their ‘Winner’s Wall’ at their Leeds Headquarters, meaning until this afternoon, fans of all ten clubs promoted in the 2013/14 Football League season can bid to get their hands on a signed team shirt which has been framed alongside a winner’s medal and photograph of their team’s victory celebrations.
As with Sky Bet’s recent signed shirt auction, which raised over £36,000, all proceeds raised are being donated to the charity, ‘Reverse Rett’.
These once in a lifetime items give Brentford fans a chance to take home a piece of their club’s history, while helping in the fight against Rett Syndrome. All money raised will be put towards research to help beat the syndrome, which impacts thousands of people in the UK alone.
Rett Syndrome is a neurological disorder that predominately strikes little girls around the time of their first birthday affecting nearly every aspect of their lives; taking away their ability to walk, talk and use their hands.
CEO Mark Devlin said: “This is a fantastic cause and it’s great that we can play our part and help out. The framed shirt and winner’s medal is an incredible part of our club’s history and so I’m urging all Brentford fans to get bidding and show what our football family can do to help raise an amazing amount for charity”
The auction is live with the bid total this morning at £1,800 and will run until this afternoon, so make sure you don’t miss out and visit the site at www.skybet.com/auction where you can view and bid on all the items on offer.
