Non-League Day is an important event in the company’s sponsorship of the Vanarama National League and aimed to encourage fans to watch their local non-league club during the annual international break where many Premier League and Football League clubs’ players are on international duty and raise monies for charity. With the support of clubs, players and fans from the Vanarama National League and support from personalities such as Chris Waddle, Tubes from Soccer AM and comedian David Schneider, Vanarama launched #WearTheWig, calling on the football community to don an orange wig for which Vanarama would donate for every picture posted to Twitter. ‘Supporting great causes such as Prostate Cancer UK, along with our other charities is important to everyone at Vanarama’ The hugely successful campaign saw Vanarama partner with Prostate Cancer UK, supporting The National League for a second year running. “Supporting great causes such as Prostate Cancer UK, along with our other charities is important to everyone at Vanarama,” says Vanarama managing director, Andy Alderson. “The support from clubs, players and especially the fans has been amazing this year, once again proving that when the football family come together, amazing things are possible”. James Beeby, Director of Fundraising at Prostate Cancer UK was delighted with the amount raised saying: “From clubs, players and fans from the grassroots game, National League and The Football League, to broadcast outlets such as BT Sport, so many people embraced the innovative #WearTheWig incentive on Non-League Day. That helped us raise money and awareness to combat a disease that affects one in eight men in the UK in their lifetime.
