Between September and November 2008, 20 community groups will win a Premier League Player for up to four hours to help raise awareness of their cause and a £4,000 donation. In addition the Premier League will also award individual £4,000 donations to a further 100 community projects, charities or schools. Launched last season, Places for Players returns as part of Creating Chances, the Premier League’s £122 million community programme. ## Advertisement [⌊Posthub advert. You create the campaign.

In no more than 600 words organisations have to describe how they would best use a player to raise awareness of their work and how they would also use the £4,000 donation. Organisations should be within 90 minutes travelling distance of a Premier League Club. The closing date for entries is Friday 1 August 2008. Each Club will choose one winning organisation to receive a player visit and a £ 4,000 donation, and a further five runners-up to receive a £4,000 donation from the Premier League. www.premierleague.com/page/CreatingChances * **[LSH kicked off Euro semi-finals with charity football fundraiser](https://fundraising.co.uk/2008/07/04/lsh-kicked-euro-semifinals-charity-football-fundraiser/)**( 4 July 2008) * **[Simon Jenkins to be new chairman of the National Trust](https://fundraising.co.uk/2008/07/07/simon-jenkins-be-new-chairman-national-trust/)**( 7 July 2008) * **[Mamma Mia! screening raises £6,940 for HFT](https://fundraising.co.uk/2008/07/15/mamma-mia-screening-raises-6940-hft/)**( 15 July 2008)
