Just a quick update on our Player of the Year trophy and gift for Joe Cole . . .

Our very cool blue surfboard trophy was delivered to CFC's offices in Stamford Bridge this spring. Many thanks to Andy Wray for performing the courier duties!

It took many weeks of international phone calls and emails, but thanks to Diane Broom (our CFC overseas  supporters club manager) persevering in working with Joe's agent, we found out that Joe's charity is Richard House, London's first children's hospice http://www.richardhouse.org.uk/ . They provide support for seriously ill children and their families, and it is easy to understand why Joe has chosen to support them in their vitally important work. Diane contacted the hospice on our behalf, and Teri Enomoto did the legwork in getting the donation to the hospice. Diane reports that the hospice is very grateful for the donation.

Thanks to all of you who supported our Player of the Year with your votes and your donations!
