Hibs have announced the continuation of their partnership with Hanlon Stevenson Foundation.
Established in 2019, Hanlon Stevenson Foundation are operated by a dedicated and loyal team of volunteers. The initial funding for the organisation came from part of the proceeds of Hibernian FC Hall of Famer’s Paul Hanlon and Lewis Stevenson’s testimonial celebrations.
Hanlon Stevenson Foundation strive to support disadvantaged children and local charities across Fife and the Lothians. Amongst many initiatives, HSF provide them with one-of-a-kind matchday experiences at Easter Road Stadium.
As part of the continuation of their agreement with Hibernian FC, HSF will continue to fund mascot packages as well as donate 30 Kicks for Kids season tickets to disadvantaged youths in and in-and-around Edinburgh and the wider community.
Hanlon Stevenson Foundation will also continue to have advertising presence around Easter Road Stadium on matchdays through their static advertising sites situated in both the North and South corners of the West Stand. These advertisements were personally funded by trustees Graeme Cadger and Kenny Caithness.
As the season progresses, HSF will also have the opportunity to host various bucket collections in and around the vicinity of the ground, with the funds collected directly contributing to their efforts in supporting the next generation of Hibs fans.
The Club’s Junior Development Manager, Joelle Murray, stated: “I’m thrilled to have extended our partnership with Hanlon Stevenson Foundation.
“Throughout the duration of our relationship, HSF have directly supported the Club’s Junior Development initiatives through gifting a host of unique experiences to the next generation of Hibs supporters.
“We look forward to working alongside everyone associated with the organisation during our incredibly exciting 150th anniversary year.”
Hanlon Stevenson Foundation Chairman, Graeme Cadger, stated: “We are happy to have extended our agreement with Hibernian FC.
“The feedback we have had from schools and youth organisations relating to match tickets has been magnificent. However, the most rewarding part for us is seeing the HSF mascots walking onto the pitch with our very own ‘Persy Persevere’.
“We take great pride in helping form the next generation of Hibernian supporters.”
