Partick Thistle Football Club has once again teamed up with Breast Cancer Care Scotland to announce a new kit deal.
The deal sees £3 from every one of the new away strips that are sold, donated to the only UK-wide charity providing specialist support and tailored information for anyone affected by breast cancer.
The new deal follows a scheme that saw the Scottish Premiership club raise funds by branding the headrests in their new dugouts with the charity’s logo. Each seat was offered for sponsorship by individuals or companies.
This time around the donation comes from three individual £1 contributions from the Club itself, Spanish kit manufacturer, Joma and Glasgow-based distributor, Total Teamware Ltd (TTL).
The money raised will go towards supporting the crucial work the charity does to help women and men living with breast cancer.
Announcing the deal, Ian Maxwell, Partick Thistle’s Managing Director, said: "We already have a close partnership with Breast Cancer Care Scotland and the link up with the dugout seats has worked really well.
"It’s a fantastic charity and one that deals with a subject which affects so many families across Scotland. I know many people that are associated with the Club have had their lives touched by breast cancer so it’s an ideal charity for us to get involved with.
“In modern football it’s easy to get carried away with the importance of what is happening on the pitch. However, when you see the work Breast Cancer Care Scotland does, and the practical support it provides for those directly and indirectly affected by breast cancer, it really puts things into perspective.
"It’s a cause we as a club are proud to be associated with and a partnership I hope lasts for the foreseeable future."
Speaking on behalf of Breast Cancer Care Scotland, Shona Smith Partnerships Fundraising Manager said: "We are thrilled that Partick Thistle are extending their support to Breast Cancer Care Scotland by wearing this very special strip featuring the pink ribbon, and donating £3 per football strip sold.
"The funds raised will enable the charity to continue to offer essential support through our free and confidential Helpline and face-to-face services, to all those affected by this brutal disease. We can’t wait to see the team, and their fans, in the strip this season!”
The away strip is on sale now online and from TTL’s store in Port Dundas. The shirt is priced £40 for adults and £35 for juniors with the shorts available for adults at £15 and juniors at £13.
