Beacon of Light taking part in Kit Out Sunderland donation initiative
Beacon of Light is collaborating with Sunderland City Council to support Kit Out Sunderland – a sports kit donation initiative.
Foundation of Light Day Fan Zone
Foundation of Light Day sees Sunderland AFC dedicate its game against QPR to their official charity as they aim to raise funds to help struggling families live happier and healthier lives.

Not only will the players be wearing commemorative shirts to help raise awareness of the campaign, but there will be a whole host of activities and fundraising initiatives to get involved with in the SAFC Matchday Fan Zone.
