The JSW-GMR co-owned Delhi Capitals franchise are delighted to announce the launch of a brand-new initiative, in partnership with fundraising and fan engagement platform MatchWornShirt, which will give the Delhi Capitals’ fans around the world a chance to own the match-worn and signed shirts of their favourite players, all whilst raising funds for charity.
During the upcoming match against Royal Challengers Bangalore on Saturday, the Delhi Capitals fans will be able to place their bids on the DC shirts that are being worn by the players. With each ball that’s bowled, every wicket that’s taken, and every run that’s made the fans can get closer to the action than ever before and own unique moments. And every bid placed by a fan will help raise funds for GMR Varalakshmi Foundation.
GMRVF’s goal is to develop social infrastructure and enhance the quality of life of communities around the locations where the Group has a presence, currently around 20 locations across India. Specifically, the funds raised will be used in three key ways: to provide educational support for under-privileged children, to provide healthcare services to the elderly and those in need, and finally, to provide employable skills training for under-privileged unemployed youth.
Speaking about the partnership, Tijmen Zonderwijk, Co-Founder, MatchWornShirt said, “We are delighted to launch our first partnership not only within a new country but in an entirely new sport. Delhi Capitals are one of India’s finest cricket franchisees and we could not be more thrilled to be working together in order to benefit the GMR Varalakshmi Foundation and the fans alike.”
Vinod Bisht, Interim CEO, Delhi Capitals expressed, "It's a huge honour and privilege for us to be the world's first cricket team and India's first sporting organization to associate with MatchWornShirt’s fundraising and fan engagement platform. The fans have always been our number one priority and we couldn't be happier to share amazing memorabilia like the shirts worn by the players themselves and also raise funds for the GMR Varalakshmi Foundation. It's a win-win situation for the fans and the foundation. We cannot wait for the action to unfold on Saturday."
