A marketing agency has continued its fundraising efforts for the Ukraine appeal after taking part in a charity football match at Wolverhampton Wanderers’ Molineux Stadium.
Colleagues from Sutton Coldfield-based WAA Chosen were joined by clients and supplier partners from across the UK, including leading brands like Nivea, Jewson and Britvic, scoring on and off the pitch with a 5-3 victory and raising over £1,000 for the appeal fund.
The latest charitable activity follows on from the agency funding the transport of vital supplies to Poland for Ukrainian refugees.
The support came after their own colleague Alexey Kostenyuk, based in Kyiv, was called up to serve in the Ukranian armed forces as part of the ongoing war effort.
Team WAA Chosen sported a specially commissioned blue and yellow strip for the game, which saw the teams use the Premier League changing rooms, walk out through the famous tunnel and even perform under the watchful eye of top-flight officials.
After the match, an auction was held in the club’s players’ lounge which saw prizes donated by some of the company’s celebrity friends including Ricky Hatton (tickets to his comeback fight), Darren Gough (signed bat), Coventry City FC (VIP boardroom match tickets), James Wade (VIP tickets to the Grand Slam of Darts) and others.
WAA Chosen managing director Dan Clifford said: “It was a fantastic evening, and we thank Wolves and their partner DIS Graphics for giving us the opportunity.
“Our clients and staff got to experience a little glimpse of life as a Premier League footballer and it was certainly a nice bonus to win the game!”
