This week we have been one of many Celtic Supporters groups who have been working to raise funds for the Kano Foundation. Last Saturday we featured Eddie Toner’s initiative to raise £20,000 for the Kano Foundation – who provide youngsters with their first taste of match day action at Celtic Park – and amazingly that total was reached last night.
And some folk reckon of if they ever do a Celtic version of Strictly they’ll be contenders…
Happy Birthday to our friend @eddie_toner We hope your day is as good as your dance moves 🕺 pic.twitter.com/bN4CNssG66

Even in these challenging times, when money is tight and the Celtic have been poor, the support has rallied to a great cause and achieved the initial target set last weekend. The £20,000 was what was needed as a minimum to keep the Foundation operating next season so the fund-raising is continuing.
Last night Matt Corr of this parish announced on social media that he is now offering supporters the chance to buy his outstanding INVINCIBLE book, with personal dedications added at your request, and will donate ALL OF THE MONEY for the book to The Kano Foundation.
So if you would like to make a £20 donation to support The Kano Foundation why not order INVINCIBLE, get a lovely personal message added (maybe for a forthcoming birthday etc) and you’ll receive the book a few days later knowing that ALL of your money has gone to The Kano Foundation.
Here’s Matt’s tweet announcing the details last night…
Thank you, guys! What an amazing gesture. We really appreciate it 💚
