Charlton Upbeats Day 2015 - 21st March

Walk the walk for charity and support The Upbeats

Saturday the 21st March 2015 sees the ‘Charlton Upbeats Day’, a day to raise funds and awareness for the Charlton Athletic Community Trust (CACT) downs syndrome project called ‘The Upbeats’.

Charlton Upbeats Day, falling on World Downs Syndrome day, also coincides with the Charlton Athletic home fixture against Reading at The Valley. To help raise funds and awareness, Charlton Athletic have arranged an 8 mile sponsored walk from the CAFC training ground to The Valley on the morning of the Charlton Athletic vs Reading fixture.

The walk will be led by a team of Charlton Athletic legends (former players) and assisted by accredited walking volunteers. Leaving the training ground at 10.00am, the walking groups will arrive at The Valley for 1.30pm to then watch The Charlton Upbeats play in 3-team curtain raiser tournament against the Fulham and QPR downs syndrome teams.

Taking place on the main valley pitch, CACT are aiming to over 1500 fans arrive early on the day to watch the action and support The Upbeats before the 3.00pm Championship kick off between Charlton and Reading. The pre-match tournament also includes Sky reporter Dickie Davis covering the games, giving post match interviews with the downs syndrome stars on the big screen.

We encourage all Charlton supporters to get behind the event, with all proceedings going to the Upbeats project. After each participant then registers, the trust encourages them to raise a minimum of £20 by getting people to sponsor their walk via the following website > www.justgiving.com/charltonupbeatsday2015

Those booked onto the walk are entitled to a 50% reduction on match day tickets for the CAFC vs READING fixture. When the tickets go on sale and you register for the walk, you will receive a discount code to use when calling the ticket office.
