Birmingham City Foundation @ Great Birmingham 10km

Birmingham City Foundation is calling for supporters to lace up their running shoes and represent Blues in this year’s Birmingham Great Run, to help fund its community engagement programmes.

The Foundation will be covering the entry cost for the 10km run, as well as providing a limited-edition UNDEFEATED x Nike running vest for the first 200 supporters who reach £150 in donations on the Foundation’s GoFundMe page.

Designed in Los Angeles and worn in Birmingham, the collaboration vests will not be available to anybody except Foundation Great Run participants, and will be distributed after the fundraising threshold has been met.

The recently relaunched Birmingham City Foundation has already delivered one of the city’s biggest ever Christmas gifting campaigns, and has recently supplied more than 3,000 match tickets to underprivileged children.

Funds raised through the Great Run will go towards helping those most in need, especially the young. The Foundation provides training in the areas of education and skills, fitness and nutrition, all using the power of football to engage. They also strive to make football accessible for all and use the beautiful game to teach many valuable life lessons.

With the cost-of-living crisis and Birmingham City Council facing severe financial difficulties never has the need been more pressing for our Club to step forward and shoulder some of the responsibility. Birmingham City are uniquely positioned to impact thousands of people within our community in a way that others can’t. That isn’t a boast – it’s a fact.
