Hanlon Stevenson Foundation bring gifts for hero NHS staff at ERI
The Hanlon Stevenson Foundation today generously handed over
boxes of chocolates and jars of coffee for the NHS staff at the Royal Infirmary
of Edinburgh as a ‘small token’ of their appreciation at this difficult time.
The gifts were gratefully received by the staff who have been
working round the clock to save lives as the COVID-19 pandemic continues to put
the health service under enormous pressure.
The purpose of the Foundation is primarily youth related
with a view to assisting less privileged children.
HSF is self-funded, and all monies received have been donated
to selected charities and other projects.
The initial funding for HSF was provided by donations from
Paul Hanlon and Lewis Stevenson as part of the proceeds from their respective
Testimonial Years.
Stevenson has currently played 483 competitive games for the
club and has scored nine goals. He holds the distinction of being the only Hibs’
player to have won League Cup and Scottish Cup winners medals whilst at the
cub. In 2017 he was awarded a testimonial year which included a match against
Sunderland.
Hanlon has played 421 competitive games for the club and
scored 23 goals including the never to be forgotten last minute equaliser at Tynecastle
en route to the Scottish Cup success in 2016. In 2018 as part of his testimonial
year former manager Tony Mowbray brought his Blackburn Rovers team to Easter
Road.
