First and foremost, if you are here to give to the Arsenal Foundation, thank you! Thank you for finding the time and the will to help us make a positive change and show that our community is about more than just football.

Arsenal is the the thread that binds us together. Sometimes the football brings us joy and sometimes it challenges us, but the supporters will always be what makes the club special. From the stands at the Emirates, to local pubs around the world, to people watching on their personal screens large and small, Arsenal Football Club is represented by millions of passionate people who share a common bond.

Our podcast has always been focused on building a community. We want to provide a place to share ideas, and experience the ups and downs of the Arsenal supporting experience together. But as a community we can also make a powerful positive change. Through this fundraiser, and through the good works of the Arsenal Foundation, we can show that we are more than just people debating lineups and tactics. We can make a meaningful change for people within our community who are struggling.

The Arsenal Foundation uses donations to help the people most in need within the local community that represents our great club. But they also have a mission beyond local borders. Through their Save The Children program, the Arsenal Foundation is able to help more than 40,000 children living in unimaginable conditions in the Zaatari Refugee Camp. These children have lost everything. They have known almost nothing but war and homelessness. The Arsenal Foundation is helping give those boys and girls the tools they needs to build a better life. Through this fundraiser we will help them do that.

It means the world to us that you are here. We hope you will help us reach our goal, and show the power of our community. Football is only a small part of what makes us special. Thank you for helping us prove that!

Elliot, Clive, Tim, Paul and Scott.
