On Saturday 8^th September Boca Juniors Football Club Gibraltar will be organising a charity football tournament in memory of former player and friend Maurice Coelho who sadly took his own life.

The tournament will take place next Saturday in the Bayside Sports Complex from 9am - 5pm. 

 

They are seeking donations in order to raise money for the local charities such as Clubhouse Gibraltar and Gibraltar Samaritans, but also to raise awareness on mental health issues and suicide prevention.

 

All money raised will be distributed equally to both charities for their respective needs.

 

A spokesperson for Boca Juniors Football Club Gibraltar said: "We raised an incredible £8000 last year, with a considerable part of that sum being attributable to the very generous donations we received from local businesses. We are encouraging local businesses to donate anything they can to both charities, no contribution is too small.

 

"We are more than happy to collect cheques/cash from your offices - just let us know via email or phone and we will be happy to send one of our team members to collect the donation. Cheques can be made out to Clubhouse Gibraltar and Gibraltar Samaritans respectively.

We can also collect any cash you may have raised amongst your staff or alternatively you could share the following link with your employees and colleagues."
