CHRIS TURNER MEMORIAL: '˜Amazing' offer from city business
Peterborough-based Princebuild Ltd have made an '˜amazing' offer to the Chris Turner Statue Fund committee.
The company, long-term supporters of the football club, have pledged to match every donation figure to the fund starting from today (February 10) until the target figure of £85k is achieved. The fund has so far raised over £70k.
Princebuild director Jonathan Pudney, a lifelong Posh fan, said: “We are delighted to be able to support this wonderful project to honour the memory of Chris, He was truly a friend of every supporter of the club,
“We have been impressed by the generosity of the fans who have managed to raise a huge sum in such a short period of time and we wanted to show our support for the project and help the committee get over the goal-line.”
A Statue Fund spokesman said: “The committee would like to thank everyone at Princebuild for their amazing offer and look forward to welcoming them on September 1 to the unveiling event.”
The fundraising continues this weekend (February 11 & 12) with a Northern Soul/Motown Weekender in Whittlesey. For further details please see the following link.
