🩷 AFC Welwyn Ladies FC – Supporting Wear It Pink for Breast Cancer Awareness 🎗️
This October, AFC Welwyn Ladies FC are proud to support Wear It Pink, helping to raise awareness and vital funds for Breast Cancer Now, the UK’s largest breast cancer charity. As a community-focused football club, we believe in using our platform to make a positive difference both on and off the pitch. Throughout October, we’ll be coming together as a club to support this important cause by:
⚽ Wearing specially designed shirts during our fixtures
🎗️ Having charity donation boxes available at our games
📣 Spreading the message across our social media channels and within our local community to raise awareness and encourage donations
Every donation, no matter how big or small, can help fund vital research, support people affected by breast cancer and bring us closer to a future where everyone diagnosed with breast cancer can live — and live well. 🩷
💬 A message from AFC Welwyn Ladies Manager, Danny
“Around 2 years ago, a close family member was diagnosed with breast cancer. Seeing someone so full of life suddenly face something so serious was heartbreaking for all of us.
The treatment was incredibly tough — surgery, chemotherapy and endless hospital visits. Throughout it all, she showed me that she is one of the strongest people I know. She still is. Thanks to incredible care and life-saving research, she is now in remission, back to her full of life, and continues to brighten every room she walks into.
Her journey has shown me just how important fundraising really is. It helps fund research, support services and early detection — things that can genuinely make a life-changing difference.
That’s why AFC Welwyn Ladies are using our social media platforms and our reach within the community to spread awareness and help raise as much money as possible for a cause that is incredibly close to my heart.
The more people we reach, the more lives we can help change. If you can, please donate and support this fantastic cause. 🩷”
AFC Welwyn Ladies FC — together on the pitch, together in our community. 💗
