MATCH POSTPONED – NEW DATE COMING SOON!
CHARITY FOOTBALL TOURNAMENT 2024
Our Charity matches started as a one off game between two teams but we have now changed the concept to make this a FIVE team tournament - they will then battle it out for the SJB Trophy!
Celebrities and ex-pros will be in attendance and participating (details to follow soon) on our Instagram and Facebook pages – on the occasion Tom Skinner @iamtomskinner will be managing them
Help us raise money for Children with Cancer UK…
Our first SJBF charity event was a football match organised by Sammy Jo’s boyfriend Jack, it was held in October 2018.
The match raised over £12,000 and we had over 500 spectators.
Every year since Jack has organised the football match, he does an amazing job and we always have a great turn out
This event will be for all ages, and we can’t wait to see you there.
We will of course have plenty to do for the kids including a bouncy castle, face painting, teddy tombola and plenty more!
Lastly, all the details are on the poster below. We will have some amazing prizes for the raffles and auction of which we will be supported by @maximus_memorabilia please check out their page, as they have some unbelievable bits!
The number of people that donate and support our events, show how much love there was and still is for Sammy Jo.

Our History…
- Sammy Jo lost her battle at 29 years old to Triple Negative Breast Cancer (8.8.88 – 14.5.18) – Sammy Jo always wanted children of her own, and she would get upset knowing children were going through the same horrific effects of her treatment.
- In February 2018, we got the devastating news that cancer had returned in her brain and lungs and only had weeks to live; over the following weeks there was a lot of hard conversations with her, one of them being about raising money at her funeral, she said the money raised must go to Children With Cancer UK.
- We raised £6,485 – at her funeral. A few days after the funeral Sammy Jo’s cousin Robyn suggested we start a foundation in her name, we all thought it was a great idea, a few months later The Sammy Jo Brandon Foundation was all set up.
- Through lots of hard work and support from our family, friends and Sammy Jo’s friends and families and all the amazing people we don’t know personally, that donate to our events.
