Phoenix Christmas Toy Appeal

Monday, 1st December 2014

It is the festive season once more and we are looking to you the Phoenix Faithful to help support the annual visit to the Royal Manchester Children’s Hospital. We believe that no matter what we all deserve to smile this Christmas. Players from your English Premier League Ice Hockey Champions, the Manchester Phoenix, will be taking their annual trip to the Royal Manchester Children’s Hospital during the third week of December.

“This is the only way we can get the well wishes of all our supporters to the children and families who will be spending their Christmas in hospital this year. It’s a great way for the club to come together to brighten the lives of children, as we let them know we are thinking about them.”

Neil Morris owner of the Manchester Phoenix believes it is important to support others throughout the year but especially through the Christmas period and will be joined by Tony Hand MBE, and members of the EPIHL and Sledge Hockey teams as they give presents to the patients at the Royal Manchester Children’s Hospital.

Every year we are overwhelmed by the support of our faithful as they provide hundreds of presents on behalf of the organisation and each year the number is grows further. We are hoping to again make this the best year yet and provide even more toys for the boys and girls of the hospital. We are asking for our fans to buy just one extra gift this year - something which will make Christmas 2014 special for those who are having to spend it in hospital.

We are accepting gifts until December 10th and they can be dropped off at the rink on game night or alternatively they can be sent to the office, all gifts must be brand new and must be wrapped and labelled for with the sex and age of who it is intended for. We encourage all supporters to write well-wishing messages for the families and Children, which can be attached to the presents.

If you have any further questions about the appeal please contact the office on 0161 301 6848 or email info@manchesterphoenix.co.uk.
