The Edinburgh Charity Game is about to go into its third year. Something that started off as an idea to have a friendly ‘kick-about’ between rival Hearts and Hibs supporters for a chosen charity, grew legs and turned into one of the most ambitious of projects. The end result was to see a charity football match held at Tynecastle Stadium in front of an audience of 1,300 Edinburgh football supporters. The successful first years event in 2006, raised in excess of £8,000 for the Sick Kids Hospital in Edinburgh. The event was widely promoted in local and national radio and newspapers with an official match day magazine produced and a DVD recorded by Hibernian Interactive. In 2007 the Edinburgh Charity Game made its return and the second match was played at Easter Road Stadium and they raised more than £13,000 in aid of Simpsons Special Care Babies. This year the fans have chosen Maggie's Cancer Caring Centre based in the Western General Hospital. Maggie's is a place for people who have cancer, as well as their friends and family. The goal of the centre is to keep people who have cancer as healthy in mind and body as possible, by enabling them to participate actively in the treatment of their disease. It is not an alternative to regular medicine but it is an important supplement to their treatment. The Maggie's Centre is open all day for people to just drop in and have a coffee and a chat, as well as being a place which offers a whole programme of support. We aim to make our 2008 event to take place at Tynecastle Stadium on the 30th March 2008 one of our biggest yet, We hope to raise over £20,000 for this years charity. Please take time to browse our website and support us in any way you can in order for us to raise as much cash as possible for this year’s charity Maggie’s Cancer Care Centre Thanks The Edinburgh Charity Game Committee
