Sports Acts Sponsorship


Sports Acts Event: Thursday 28th July	Posted 19h July 2005
CHELSEA LEGEND MEANS BUSINESS FOR MERCURY HOUSE CHARITY FOOTBALL TEAM.
Ron ‘Chopper’ Harris will be at the Harvey Haddon Sports Centre on Thursday 28^th July to manage a 6-a-side football team – called Chopper’s Mercury Marvels – made up of staff and tenants from Mercury House, based at Shipstones Business Centre.
The match – taking place between 6.15 and 7.15 pm – against rivals Castle Cavendish, has been organised to raise £500 for the Night Flyers Trampoline Club, who are based at Harvey Haddon and are a beneficiary of the SportActs charity, operating from Mercury House. SportActs’ President, Mr. Colin Slater MBE will present a cheque to Night Flyers coach Toni Jantschenko after the football match. The donation is significant because it means SportActs will have topped the £100,000 mark – benefiting various local causes – in just over two years.
The winners of the match will be presented with the Annual SportActs Champions Trophy by Chopper; he made a record 795 appearances for Chelsea over 21 years and is a vice-president of SportActs as well as a partner of Chopper Harris Promotions (CHP) along with SportActs’ chairman Paul Lowe; CHP donates 25% of its net profits to charitable causes.
Mercury House Manager Julia Tantum adds “As centre manager, I am particularly enthused that tenants involved with Mercury House – a business incubator centre – are uniting to participate in an event that will benefit the community; this teamwork perfectly epitomises our corporate ethos. Such has been the success of Mercury House, that we can attract such esteemed names as Ron ‘Chopper’ Harris.”
All club members are invited to come along to the event - they're doing this for you!
