PLEASE CONTINUE TO DONATE!
We are still taking donations following the ICC's World Twenty20 England 2009 'Catch the Spirit' designated match on the 3rd June at the Oval in London between India v Pakistan which continued promoting 'peace through cricket'.
Fundraising Purpose and Distribution of Funds
The International Cricket Council has partnered with 'Peace and Sport' and 'Cricket for Change' to raise funds and provide support to the families of those who lost their lives in the Lahore terrorist attack and community projects across the Asian subcontinent.
The proceeds from the money raised will be split between a fund to support the education of young family members of those who lost their lives in the Lahore terrorist attacks and community based projects across the subcontinent that promote peace through cricket.
To provide guidance and expertise in the delivery of these projects, ICC has partnered with 'Cricket for Change' and 'Peace and Sport'.

What is 'Catch The Spirit'?
'Catch The Spirit' is one of the themes of the ICC Centenary year. It highlights the respect within which the game is played around the world. In celebration of the spirit and diversity of cricket, 'Catch the Spirit' activities are being hosted across the world in 2009, bringing together cricketers across continents, countries and communities.
