On Sunday 3 April, our Academy Stadium hosted ‘Manchester Remembers’, a charity football match between footballing legends and celebrities to commemorate the victims of the Manchester Arena attack. All the money raised will be donated to five charities.
Manchester Remembers is a charity match at the Academy Stadium on April 3rd 2022, to commemorate the 5thanniversary of the Manchester Arena attack. The event was initiated by Aaron Lee, who was a first responder at the scene, and Paul Corrigan, a local businessman.
Aaron has continued to have a close relationship with the victims' families and has taken part in several activities to raise funds for their charities.
He said: “Since the attack we’ve raised over £44,000 for charities that directly support the victims' families and young people across Greater Manchester, and the Manchester Remembers football match is a massive opportunity to try and double that total.
“What happened on that night shocked not just Manchester but the world. As we approach the five-year anniversary, Paul and I knew we had to do something special and remember those that were so sadly taken from their families and felt launching a city-wide football game would help us raise funds that could really make a difference.”
All the money raised for the game will go to Chloe and Liam Together Forever Trust, Liv’s Trust, The Megan Hurley Foundation, The Remembering Nell Foundation and Eilidh's Trust.
