‘InterSevens Concern For Haiti’

Launched on the 7th February 2010, this tournament launched a range of soccer marathons that will occur every two months for three tournaments, and then be run annually in aid of the Haitian people and the earthquake victims.  
We have managed to generate in excess of €75,000 over a 7 hour tournament, and expect to draw in approx €40,000 per tournament to follow, through a carefully managed sponsorship system.  Each team played for a trip for 11 to a Premiership match, football gear, FAI kit and more.    On the final day, Giovanni Trapattoni came to see the final and present the winners with the The Gardy Latortue memorial Trophy, which is named after a Haitian colleague of some of the Concern Worldwide team, who tragically died in the earthquake.  

Although a tough trial for soccer players, this event is thoroughly enjoyable with the next one expected at the end of March 2010.
