City Women to celebrate club's charity at Everton game | OneFootball

Manchester City Women will be celebrating its charity, City in the Community (CITC), at its matchday against Everton on Sunday 20th April.

Fans will be able to access bonus community content, including within the matchday programme, during half-time and across digital channels.

The fixture will also see the return of the popular ‘hand-drawn’ graphics on social media, as local school children were once again invited to draw their favourite Manchester City stars.

The stadium, which is being renamed ‘The City in the Community Joie Stadium’ for the day, will come alive with charity branded banners before kick-off.

Prize draw: win and support citc!

Ahead of the fixture, Man City Women’s Interim Head Coach, Nick Cushing, visited a City in the Community session.

Cushing met the charity’s female degree students at Bradford Park, which is being regenerated by CITC in the coming weeks.

Players will also be showing their support for the charity by warming up in City in the Community branded tops and donating them, alongside the matchday’s worn shirts, for fundraising.

Elsewhere, the day is being used to create once-in-a-lifetime opportunities for City in the Community participants, including meeting the players, joining the media teams, half-time activities and waving flags on the pitch.

CEO of City in the Community, Michael Geary, said: "We are delighted that Manchester City Women are celebrating the Club’s charity in the team’s first community matchday takeover.

"We are extremely passionate about engaging our fans and all the activities they'll see on Sunday have been designed to help raise levels of visibility and awareness of City in the Community.

"As well as the exciting participant experiences, we are pleased to have also donated free matchday tickets to local schoolchildren, who otherwise might not be able to experience an Etihad matchday.

“Special thanks must also go to all partners and suppliers who have helped to make today’s match as impactful as possible.

"I hope that fans can join us and the Club in celebrating our work to empower healthier lives through football."
