Welcome ... to the Willow Cup

an exciting corporate five-a-side football tournament!

 

International sports events organisers Eurofives are delighted to announce their seventh consecutive hosting of this tournament in aid of the Willow Foundation.

 

The Willow Foundation is a charity dedicated to improving the quality of life of seriously ill young adults aged 16 to 40 through the provision of special days. It was established by former Arsenal and Scotland star Bob Wilson and his wife Megs in memory of their daughter Anna (below right) who died of cancer aged 31.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

"Special days returned the smile to Anna's face at a time when her life had taken a very different path to that of her peers. We knew that if special days worked for her, they would work for others too.

 

“I know the lads really enjoy the Eurofives weekends as a memorable team-building exercise so I very much hope that you and your company can support this exciting tournament and, by doing so, help create a special day for someone very deserving.”

 

Bob Wilson OBE

founder, the Willow Foundation
