'Cosaf join forces with BWFC's Kevin Davies'

The charity, which was launched by Bolton Wanderers captain and newly selected England player, Kevin Davies, was established to give young people in the Bolton area a chance to get involved with activities, particularly sport, without the burden of financial restrictions.

The ‘Davies Shield’, held last week at Bolton Old Links Golf course, was the first of a number of fundraising events held to help raise funds for the charity.

A leading example of local commercial support, Cosaf Directors Mike and Karl Sullivan were in attendance to show their support, making a sizable donation to the fundraising pot.

Director Karl Sullivan said:

“We have always been consciously aware of our corporate responsibility, committing our time to various projects over the years.

“It is so important that companies in the local area show their support for projects that offer recipients a better quality of life, and we are extremely proud to be part of such a worthy initiative and shall continue to support the charity going forward.”

Attracting celebrity support, presenter Vernon Kay and Bolton Wanderers favourites Owen Coyle, Jussi Jaaskelainen, Gary Cahill, Mark Davies, Sam Ricketts and Robbie Blake all turned out to play a charitable game or two.
