The players’ time has been donated by all 20 Premier League clubs to help charities
and good causes drive awareness of their projects and create fundraising opportunities.

In addition to the player appearance, successful applicants will receive a donation
of £2,000 from the Premier League. There will be 400 runners-up who will also receive
a £2,000 donation from the Premier League.

Richard Scudamore, chief executive of the Premier League, said: “Creating Chances
highlights the Premier League and our clubs’ continued and increasing commitment
to local communities.”

The application form is available for download or can be completed online.

The closing date for applications is 22 June 2007.
