Stars line up for Premier League ‘Creating Chances’
Howard Lake | 21 June 2007 | News
The Premier League today launched Creating Chances, a showcase of the huge amount of positive work that top-flight football does in the community, and for good causes and charities.
The core element of Creating Chances is a new initiative called ‘Places for Players’, which will involve 200 Premier League players supporting a number of charities and good causes in September, raising awareness of and funds for the work that these organisations do.
Over 400 good causes will benefit either by players getting involved in their work or from a £2,000 cash donation direct from the Premier League.
