Our annual charity cup raised £17,500 this weekend, thanks to the generous donations of the players who took part.
Nine teams participated in the fundraising tournament at Emirates Stadium, with 'Islington 49ers' running out the winners.
The money raised will help The Arsenal Foundation continue its support for a wide range of initiatives, from helping to refurbish football pitches in north London and around the world, to backing sports, arts and community projects close to Emirates Stadium.
This year saw the announcement of continued support for Arsenal legend Bob Wilson’s Willow Foundation, which provides special days for seriously ill young adult, and the opening of a music therapy room at Nordoff Robbins’ newly refurbished centre in Kentish Town - the country’s only purpose built music therapy centre.
What brings the diverse work of The Arsenal Foundation's local and global giving is the belief that with the right support, young people can thrive.
