Slough, Berks and Portsmouth, Hants, 5 September 2008: As the main sponsors of Portsmouth
FC, OKI Printing Solutions were proud to sponsor this year’s Faith and Football,
Diamonds & Tiara Ball held on Wednesday 3 September in Portsmouth.

Faith and Football is a charity run by ex-Pompey player Linvoy Primus. Established
in 2002, the Christian charity seeks to serve needy youngsters and their families
in cities in the UK and provide support for Christian projects abroad, at the same
time sharing the Christian faith with those who have a common interest in football.

Event organiser, Heather Emery, says ‘the event was a great success and the amount
of money raised was phenomenal – such success is only possible with the aid of organisations
such as OKI’.

Ewa Johnson, marketing director, OKI, attended the ball. Johnson says, ‘the charity
has done some amazing work and the glitz, glamour and generosity from the evening
really showed this’.

An outstanding £36,000 was raised, through auctions and donations. One of the main
prizes of the evening was an exclusive OKI Blue Printer signed by the Pompey teams
and a day at the Pompey training ground, which auctioned for a stunning £850.
