Cazoo has announced the outcome of a Golden Goals campaign, which saw the online car buying platform donate £1,000 per goal scored by both Everton and Aston Villa last season.
The brand is the shirt sponsor of both Premier League sides, and doubled its donation for each goal scored during the ‘Cazoo Football Derbies’ – the games between Villa and Everton that saw three goals scored this year.
A total of £57,000 was donated to the Aston Villa Foundation, supporting community outreach projects in Birmingham, while £48,000 was donated to Everton in the Community.
“We’re delighted to be supporting these great Clubs and their respective charities that both deliver essential projects in each of their local communities.
“It’s been an exciting season and we have had double reason to cheer with every goal scored by Everton and Aston Villa, knowing that it would help both their seasons and their charities.
“I am happy to announce that we will continue this charitable initiative next season and be cheering for even more goals to be scored.”
Head of the Aston Villa Foundation, Guy Rippon, said: “Thanks to Cazoo’s Golden Goals we have been able to create and support a variety of local initiatives, supporting a wide demographic of the local community.
“We have been able to tackle issues which, without the support of Cazoo, we may not have been able to tackle so quickly.”
