(1888PressRelease) October 22, 2010 - Chairman Darragh MacAnthony has recognised the superb work that the charities undertake throughout the year and as such has kindly allowed for the sponsorship of the kit to be replaced for one game only by their three nominated charities.

Darragh MacAnthony and Peterborough United have worked closely with kit manufacturer adidas who have kindly donated a full kit, with help from Chroma Sports, for the fixture with Cardiff City.

Chairman Darragh MacAnthony said:

"I believe this is the first time in our history that we have used a one-off kit for a league fixture and I was delighted to allow our three charities to have their logo's on the strip."

'"We are delighted to be working so closely with Sue Ryder Care, it is a charity that is close to my heart and they are an organisation that do so much for people both in the city and across the country."

"The Free Kicks Foundation are a charity that help disadvantaged children across the city. Steve Thorpe and his team work exceptionally hard and have a close link with the football club. ASBAH are the leading UK registered charity providing information and advice about spina bifida and hydrocephalus and have been involved with the football club for a number of years. I would like to take this opportunity to thank adidas and Chroma Sports for all their continued support and assistance. '

Darragh MacAnthony and Peterborough United are auctioning off the kits to raise money for Sue Ryder Care, The Free Kicks Foundation and ASBAH and they are hoping that your bids will raise a superb amount for the charities. The top 11 bids will be invited to the Peterborough United v Derby County fixture where a draw will take place for the 11 kits that were worn for the game against Cardiff.
