The deal will see the charity's logo being carried on the club's shirts for free throughout the 2008/9 season. The Premier League's chief executive Richard Scudamore said the deal was the first of its kind in the top flight. He said: "Credit must go to Villa for being the first Premier League club to use its shirt sponsor to highlight and promote its charity partnership. I am sure Acorns' association with Aston Villa will be of great help in raising awareness and funds for all the excellent work they undertake." Acorns Children's Hospice cares for life-limited children and their families. They currently care for over 600 life-limited children and their families. Aston Villa were sponsored last season by 32 Red Online Casino who are offering all new players a free money welcome bonus of up to £100 free. Aston Villa have supported Acorns since 2006 and offered a sponsorship deal after being told Acorns needed to care for an extra 1,000 children. |
