Do you know a child who would love to lead a team out at Wembley
Do you know a child who would love the chance to lead out a team in this year’s FA Cup semi finals at Wembley Stadium?

The FA and their official charity partner Breast Cancer Care, are delighted to announce three online auctions offering a once in a lifetime opportunity for young football fans to sample the full FA Cup experience. 

One place is available to lead out Aston Villa on 19 April, and another place is for either Blackburn or Liverpool in the Sunday semi-final against Villa, dependent on the outcome of Wednesday’s sixth round replay.  

The winning bidders will each receive two match tickets; one for the mascot and one for their accompanying adult. To be eligible as a mascot, children must be aged between 7 and 11 years old. 

All money raised from this auction will go towards The FA’s target of  raising £500,000 to help support Breast Cancer Care’s vital work in raising awareness of the signs and symptoms of breast cancer.

The earlier breast cancer is diagnosed, the higher the chance of survival and by supporting Breast Cancer Care The FA are helping to ensure that nobody leaves it too late to seek help and advice.

Andy Harris, director of fundraising and marketing at Breast Cancer Care said: “We’re delighted that The FA has offered us these mascot places to auction off. 

“We’re hoping to see lots of bids from supporters over this weekend for this fantastic unforgettable experience. 

“The money raised will help us to provide essential support to people affected by breast cancer”.
