Talk Norwich City fundraising efforts surpass £40k
A charity online raffle and auction which saw the Norwich City squad come together to raise funds for Big C Cancer Charity has raised £7,794. This recent achievement has meant that the Talk Norwich City (TNC) fundraising total has reached an incredible £41,274 since the duo started supporting the charity in 2019.
Chris Reeve and Jack Reeve, founders of the Norwich City fan channel TNC, have organised a variety of fundraising initiatives over the past five years, including a 24-hour watch-along, several Fantasy Premier League competitions as well as a variety of raffles and auctions.
The idea for ‘The Ultimate Norwich City Raffle’ was formed following the huge success of a Big C Charity raffle for a Sara signed shirt last year which raised almost £3,000.
This latest online fundraiser saw first-team players including Jonathan Rowe, Josh Sargent, Gabriel Sara and Angus Gunn donate memorabilia such as boots, shirts and gloves to an online raffle which was launched to mark World Cancer Day.
Four extra special items were then made available as auction items including a pair of signed, worn, Johnny Rowe boots and a match-prepared Kenny McLean Scotland shirt from their European qualifier Vs Norway.
Chris Reeve, co-founder of TNC said “It’s incredible to look back at how far we’ve come since we started supporting Big C in 2019. We never could have imagined that we’d be standing here now having raised such a vast amount. Huge thanks to the yellow army for all their support over the years – you all make such a difference, and we couldn’t have achieved any of this without you!”
Tom Holmes, events & engagement manager at Big C said “We are totally blown away by the incredible support we have received from Chris, Jack and the Norwich City fanbase. ‘The Ultimate Norwich City Raffle’ was another huge success and a testament to how hard Chris and Jack work to support the charity. We are so grateful to every single Norwich City fan that gets involved in these events and to Chris and Jack for their never-ending dedication to Big C.”
