CALLING all Ipswich Town fans.

Please note that the Kevin Beattie Foundation is now an official charity, number 1192625 and our website www.kevinbeattiefoundation.co.uk is live.

Please take a few minutes to have a look as we have lots going on and we are raising funds for great causes.

We recently held an online Beattie’s Christmas Bonanza Raffle which raised over £1,000 for East Anglia’s Children’s Hospice and now are holding an Beattie’s Fun Easter Raffle for three brothers who are sadly dying from Muscular Dystrophy which has no cure. There are 38 prizes to be won.

The foundation is especially proud to say that one of the club’s young starlets, Jack Lankester, has kindly donated towards the raffle and so this will obviously raise a lot of interest and hopefully money for the boys to have a good Easter.

If you would like to take part in the raffle, please email malcolmthompson10@outlook.com to get details of how to purchase tickets.

The foundation has many events lined up, but like most charities these have been put on hold due to Covid, however please keep watching the website for updates.

Kevin was a great fans man and he loved the fans interaction.

This was clearly seen when I walked from Carlisle (Kevin’s birthplace) to Ipswich Town FC and the ITFC family kindly donated over £3,000 to help get the foundation set up.

So far we have had many great supporters behind us, such as Michael Van Gerwen, Sir Ian Botham, Osvaldo Ardilies, Soccer AM’s Jeff Stelling, and many more.

Talking off Sir Ian Botham, one of the events planned by the KBF is to do a three countries walk later in the year in aid of Beefy’s Charity Foundation for Prostate Cancer to coincide with the Ashes Anniversary, so keep an eye out for this.

We also have a surprise in May to celebrate the football club’s 40th Anniversary of winning the UEFA Cup, an Evening with Jim Magilton and Matt Holland and much much more!
