DREAM TICKET

WIDNES will be teaming up with the Sir Bobby Robson Foundation at Magic Weekend for the third consecutive year.

The Vikings have raised more than £60,000 for the Foundation over the past two years and the club will be looking to add to that figure with the launch of its ‘Destination Magic’ initiative.

Thanks to Super League partners Betfred and Rhino, the ball used in the opening game of the Dacia Magic Weekend between Widnes and Wakefield Trinity will carry the Sir Bobby Robson Foundation logo.

The Vikings are looking for the support of as many businesses as possible to help deliver the ball from Widnes to St James’ Park for the kick-off to the showcase event.

Each business that donates to the campaign will not only feature on all of the club’s media outlets, but will also sponsor a child in the North East to take part in an exclusive rugby league camp with the Vikings in the build-up to the Dacia Magic Weekend.

The participating children will take to the field at St James’ Park, Newcastle to present the ball, prior to kick off.

All donations will go to the Sir Bobby Robson Foundation, who not only support and treat cancer sufferers in the UK but also contribute significantly to international research into the disease.

Vikings director Brian O’Connor said: “I think I speak on behalf of everybody involved with Widnes Vikings when I say that we arere immensely proud of our partnership with the Sir Bobby Robson Foundation.”
