Blue Armbands Tonight for SAMOAN TSUNAMI FUND

SAMOAN TSUNAMI FUND            

Phoenix and UNICEF team up for good cause

SUNDAY�S game between Wellington Phoenix and Gold Coast United will see the Hyundai A-League and UNICEF team up to raise funds to assist those affected by last month�s devastating tsunami in Samoa.

More than 110 people were killed when a tsunami triggered by an earthquake smashed into the tiny South Pacific Island, while thousands of others have been left homeless.

To help raise funds for the relief effort, the Phoenix and UNICEF have teamed up to support the cause at Sunday�s game at Westpac Stadium.

All players involved in the match will wear blue armbands. The match ball � signed by Hyundai A-League UNICEF ambassadors Leo Bertos and Zenon Caravella (Gold Coast), as well as captains Andrew Durante and Jason Culina � will be auctioned off at a later date to raise money for the cause.

Fans at Westpac Stadium will be able to make donations via text message on gameday. However, donations can also be made at any time by going to www.unicef.org.nz or by phoning 0800 800 194.

A UNICEF fundraising display is also located at the Wellington Phoenix Store, 2 Hunter St in Wellington city, featuring a range of cool gifts, including puzzles, Christmas cards and kids� toys. Buy some pressies for Christmas and support a worthy cause at the same time.

Good effort. A choice cause.

That ball will be very valuable now I would think!

Ha yeah good point. imagine having the ball where the bottom placed nix, f**ked up, the Poofters from the gold coast. And silenced Judas.

That would take pride of place over any Wedding photo on the mantle piece.

Hope 4 kings or backbencher bid for it, so we can all enjoy its splendor.

i didnt notice the nix wearing the armbands actually?

all the teams have been wearing them this weekend.

Bump:  Given what this is for I think it needs to be on the front page.

Already done.
Oska participated.

Didn't see anyone else...
Correct me if im wrong

Link to ball auction?

So do i ! Four Kings or the Back Bencher should try win it, then we can all see it!

How about a YF auction fund, and then it can be donated to the Kings to be held in trust?  I'd put in. 

I'd dig some cash up as well, have it at the 4 Kings for away game weeks, and at the bencher for home game weeks, it can rotate once a week during the off-season
