On Saturday 9 March, OH Leuven Women is organising a special match ‘Voor het Leuven’ in partnership with DHL eCommerce and the cancer research charity Kom op tegen Kanker. During this match, we hope to fill the entire stadium in order to raise as much money as possible for the battle against breast cancer. The match against KRC Genk Ladies will start at 7 pm at the King Power at Den Dreef Stadium in Leuven. Tickets are now available for purchase via www.ohleuven.com/voorhetleuven.
Battle against breast cancer
One in nine (!) women in Belgium will be diagnosed with breast cancer in her lifetime. In fact, it is the leading cause of death among women in Europe and this horrible disease kills seven women every day. This cause is close to the hearts of the OH Leuven Women players and the initiative is widely supported by the entire team.
Supporting a good cause
Football is a fantastic sport. It goes without saying that we want to win this match, but our primary focus during ‘Voor het Leuven’ is to raise as much money as possible for a worthy cause. Various activities will be organised before, during and after the match. These include the auctioning of match T-shirts and a lottery for supporters. The proceeds, as well as a large percentage of ticket sales, will be donated to the cancer research charity Kom op tegen Kanker.
Mobilising all of Leuven and DHL eCommerce
To inspire all city residents to support this initiative, a high-profile campaign is being launched today. The team warmly invites everyone in the city of Leuven to come to the stadium to watch the match. Local and municipal authorities are also being closely involved in the initiative. Additionally, many employees of DHL eCommerce will also be attending the event on March 9th at the King Power at Den Dreef Stadium to support the cause.
