The money raised through the ‘Be a Gooner. Be a Giver’ campaign is more than any of the totals over the past six years in which Arsenal’s Charity of the Season initiative has run. The 12-month partnership included a dedicated matchday – Arsenal v Liverpool – in December 2008. All first team players and directors donated a day’s wages to Teenage Cancer Trust and supporters were encouraged to do the same. £210,000 was raised in just one day. ## Advertisement [⌊Posthub advert.

Be a Runner’, a ten-lap fun- run around Emirates Stadium; a raffle to win a unique Citroën C4 designed by cartoonist Gerald Scarfe, and the Legends & Youth Ball at Emirates Stadium hosted by Little Britain star Matt Lucas and attended by the first team, Arsène Wenger and a other celebrity supporters. The 2009 Charity of the Season will be Great Ormond Street Hospital Children’s Charity. www.teenagecancertrust.org   * **[RBC Blue Water Project donates £2.3 million to 31 organisations](https://fundraising.co.uk/2009/09/03/rbc-blue-water-project-donates-23-million-31-organisations/)**( 3 September 2009) * **[Goats milk company fundraises for Self Help Africa with fundraising carton](https://fundraising.co.uk/2009/09/06/goats-milk-company-fundraises-self-help-africa-fundraising-carton/)**( 6 September 2009) * **[Site2Sight 4 SeeAbility](https://fundraising.co.uk/2009/09/08/site2sight-4-seeability/)**( 8 September 2009)
