Sale Sharks Teams Up With Once Upon A Smile
Sale Sharks has teamed up with bereavement charity Once Upon a Smile for the Anglo-Welsh Cup clash against Saracens on 10th November.
The Sharks’ first team will wear a limited-edition orange shirt featuring the logo of Once Upon a Smile, the children’s bereavement charity which provides emotional and practical support to bereaved families at their time of need.
This announcement comes a month after Sharks confirmed they will be wearing the Manchester Bee on their away shirt, to show the club’s solidarity with Manchester and the victims of the Manchester attack earlier in the year.
The logo will join those of corporate partners Together, Litmos, Morson and headline sponsor UKFast.
Limited numbers of replica shirts will be available for supporters to order from the club shop with a percentage of proceeds going to the charity, alongside a percentage of the ticket sales.
Mark Cueto, Sale Sharks commercial director said: “It will be great to see our boys running out in Once Upon a Smile’s colours. They do fantastic work in the community and I know the team will be wearing their shirt with more pride than ever come 10th November.
“We are very grateful to our sponsors for their support of this initiative, and it’s great to work together in aid of such a worthwhile cause.”
Daniel Jilling, Once Upon a Smile co-founder, said: “We are passionate about sport and supporting our local community, so we are delighted to get onboard as one of the chosen charities on November 10.
“For us as a local charity to be working alongside the team is exciting, and to be given the opportunity to tell more people about what we do is one we are very grateful for.”
