The annual Archie Foundation event that pits local fire fighters against police officers are on the lookout for local footie mad children to apply to become a match mascot.
Battle of the Badges, hosted at Cove Rangers’ Balmoral Stadium on Saturday, June 11, will see each football player teamed up with a child and work together during the run up to the event to raise funds for local sick babies, children and bereaved families.
The event raises funds for The Archie Foundation, based at Royal Aberdeen Children’s Hospital (RACH), which supports children and families across the north of Scotland, funding specialist roles, financial support, equipment and projects. Archie also supports babies and families requiring neonatal services, as well as bereaved children who have lost a loved one.
Regional Fundraising Officer, for The Archie Foundation, Cassie McGunnigle said: “We are really excited to be launching Battle of the Badges for a fourth year, It’s such a feel good event. We are looking for children aged between four and 16 years old, who may have either spent time in RACH or have a connection to the hospital or Archie.
“Mascots will get to support their player by walking on to the pitch with them, cheering on their players and enjoying a fantastic day all to support local sick babies, children and bereaved families.”
