Take part in the Celtic FC Foundation's Founding Fathers' Fast in ...

As the Clubs 137th anniversary and launch of our annual Christmas Appeal approaches, we are set, once again, to honour our charitable heritage by asking supporters to take part in this year’s Founding Fathers’ Fast, on Wednesday, November 6.

The Celtic support have, in their numbers, marked this anniversary by fasting for 24 hours and paying tribute to Celtic Football Club’s reason for being. We’re inviting supporters to not only take part and donate a suggested £5 – representing what would’ve been spent on food for that day – but also to make some noise about it on social media to encourage as many fellow Celtic supporters as possible to get involved in this and our 2024 Appeal.

Please give up food for a single day and help someone who really needs support from Celtic FC Foundation this Christmas.

How to get involved:

1. Fast for the day on Wednesday, November 6, in honour of our Club’s Founding Fathers
2. Use the Hashtag #FoundingFathersFast
3. Change your profile picture for the day to the Founding Fathers’ Fast image (below)

1. Donate a suggested £5 to Celtic FC Foundation’s Christmas Appeal – Online HERE or by texting ‘CELTIC £5’ to 70085*
2. Tag us @foundationcfc on November 6 to tell us what you’re giving up and what method you’ve used to donate.

All funds raised from this event will support our 2024 Christmas Appeal, which reflects the very essence of why our Club was formed.

The Appeal will help to bring comfort and joy to children, families, pensioners, those in refuge, the homeless, refugees and others who are struggling at an especially challenging time of year.

Together we can ‘Make Christmas Magic’.

Thank you so much for your magnificent support!

*Texts will cost the donation amount, plus one standard rate message.
