FROM FOOTFALL TO FOOTBALL
20 July 2005

On Sunday, 26 June 2005, St John's Shopping Centre held its first ever charity 5 a-side tournament in aid of the North West Cancer Research Fund, St John's dedicated charity.

Fourteen teams gave it their all until late into the night with staff from Shu Studio taking a hard earned victory against Krazee.

Each team member was asked to make a donation to take part which generated a total of �590.00.

This is the first time St John's has involved their tenants away from the Centre, not only to raise money for a good cause but also to encourage the building of relationships throughout the Centre.� The event was organized by Marsha Freeman, the St John's Marketing Manager.

Marsha Freeman, St John's Marketing Manager hopes that this will become an annual event.� 'The night was a huge success; we brought together a large number of tenants in a relaxed environment and generated a little healthy competition on the night, the fact that we raised nearly �600 for charity was down to a great team effort.'
