Lots of people across the country get involved in Keep Your Eye On The Ball. Whether it's organising a football tournament or raffling off signed shirts, any money raised goes a long way in helping to stamp out male cancer. Here are a few events people have organised in aid of Keep Your Eye On The Ball:
FC Korono bare all for Everyman
A group of friends decided to raise money for us and their team by baring all for a footie calender and the fans obviously took a liking to it because they raised a fantastic £260! They also carried out other fundraising activities such as a charity walk and car washes and have so far raised over £500. Well done boys!
Wilmington Grammer School raise over £800!
Every September the students in each of the five Houses at Wilmington Grammar School for Boys decide which charity they would like to support in the year ahead. Last year (September 2009 – July 2010) the boys in Stevenson House decided to support Keep Your Eye On The Ball and raised a total of £840.41. This was made possible by their generous weekly donations and other fundraising activities such as sponsored silences. A large proportion of the total was raised by 7 Stevenson, Miss Evans’ tutor group. Now in year 8, here they are proudly wearing their KYEOTB t-shirts.
Well done, boys – thanks for your support!

The sixth annual RUN4ALIFE took place at Haigh Hall on Sunday 26th September and was again a great success. Wigan Athletic Manager Roberto Martinez was delighted for the club to throw their support behind a worth cause and said " Anything that can raise awareness to prostate and testicular cancer is extremely important and it's vital to raise funds needed to aid that".
Local Wish FM radio personalities Chris Milo and Dave Ellis also got involved by not only providing a personal training schedule throughout the summer but also running the event!
Scotland FC win the Building Services World Cup
Saturday 12th and Sunday 13th June saw the second Building Services World Cup take place in Liverpool. Teams included members of the building industry and saw Hannah's Heroes CHT Scotland FC win the coveted cup, impressively undefeated over their 7 games.
The Building Services World Cup has raised a fantastic amount for Everyman over two years, watch out for next June!
Wolves players dress to impress
The Wolverhampton Wanderers teamed up with Birmingham's most luxurious store, Harvey Nichols, to stage a fashion show with Everyman benefiting from 25% of ticket revenue and all profits from the evening's auction and raffle.
The event was hosted at Molineux in the Hayward Suite on Wednesday 7th April where over 200 enjoyed the show.
Matt Jarvis was among those players who put themselves forward to run the gauntlet from their team-mates. "It's for charity so we all agreed to do it", said the winger. "There'll be a lot of banter but it was all good fun and for a very good cause."
Keeper Marcus Hahnemann was among those looking on from the sidelines, he said "Everyone knows someone who has had prostate or testicular cancer, it affects so many people out there. The more money we can raise the better in terms of helping as many people as possible and hopefully funding some more cures for it."
