The Saints Foundation has met the target set by Cortese of £1m, 21 months after its creation: http://www.saintsfc.co.uk/page/NewsDetail/0,,10280~2687534,00.html Another great thing the club is doing. DTLW
Had a feeling you would write this article haha. Great achievement to everyone involved and for the club Well Done!
I saw Sibley mention something was going to be posted up on the OS in relation to the Foundation, so when I got back I checked. Was on OS and not on here! Just thought I'd post it up as it is a great achievement.
I am sure he had a big say in it. He doesn't run it but he is an Ambassador and was the first to pledge his support. Interpret that how you wish.
I must admit, when I read it on the OS, before I came here, the thought struck me how they'd managed to raise such a lot in so short a time. Cortese was the first name that popped out. I don't think I'm wide of the mark with that one. Fantastic achievement.
Mark Abrahams, Head of the Foundation said this: "The ambitions and vision set out by Nicola Cortese, (Executive Chairman of Southampton Football Club) to extend the charity's fundraising potential was new and innovative, but I'm pleased to say it has proved to be the defining factor in our success to date, and will be the key to our continued success going forward." He's certainly key to it.
