Classic Builders gift St Luke’s front of shirt sponsorship for Derby match

Classic Builders will gift their front of shirt sponsorship to local hospice St Luke’s for Argyle’s Sky Bet Championship match against Derby County on Saturday, 15 March.

This generous gesture means that St Luke’s logo will emblazon the front of Argyle’s famous Green for this special occasion as all parties aim to raise awareness and vital funds for such a vital cause.

There will also be 300 limited edition shirts for Argyle fans to purchase from today, here. These will be priced at £40 for juniors and £50 for adults and all proceeds will go to St Luke’s. 

Post-game, the match worn shirts will be signed by the players before being auctioned. The auction will run from Thursday, 20 March to Sunday, 30 March.

Sam Greenfield, Head of Commercial at Plymouth Argyle FC, said: “Classic Builders are keen to use the partnership to give back to the local community who have supported their business for many years. 

“We are delighted that they have chosen to shine a light on St Luke’s, a charity close to the hearts of Plymouth Argyle and the thousands of fans who follow us. We are collaborating with Classic Builders and the hospice to make sure it will be a day to remember that does good for our community too.”

Fred Bennetton, Founding Director of Classic Builders, said: “For me and my Partners – Darren Wills, Adam Brimacombe and Jason Battle – supporting St Luke’s is a privilege given everything the hospice does for our community. 

“Their specialist services ensure local people with terminal illness have the comfort and dignity they deserve at the end of their lives, but more than that, they are there for the families too. 

“Colleagues and clients tell me about the wonderful support their own families have received from St Luke’s. Such compassionate care is priceless, but at Classic Builders we are aware that what the hospice gives at no cost to its patients does not come cheap to the charity, particularly in this very tough economic climate. 

“That’s why we’re using our platform as Argyle shirt sponsor to turn the spotlight on St Luke’s. We hope that in doing so we will not only increase awareness but raise as much money as we can to help keep the hospice team doing what they do so brilliantly for months and years to come.”

Sarah Wallis, Partnership Lead at St Luke’s, said: “All of us at St Luke’s, and especially our nurses, are overwhelmed by the kindness and generosity shown by Classic Builders. They are incredibly passionate about giving back to our charity and are always looking for new ways to support us. 

“These funds will make a real difference, helping our team reach more people who desperately need specialist care so they can live well to the end of their lives. A huge thank you to Classic Builders for being such a big-hearted business. We really appreciate it!”

The 300 specially branded shirts are available to purchase here, and we will share details of the auction when it is live across our official channels.
