Shevchenko and Milan have collected over 200,000 euros for Ukraine

Added at:

For over six months AC Milan and Fondazione Milan have been committed to supporting the Ukrainian population through a series of concrete initiatives, united under the 'AC Milan for Peace' programme. From fundraising to the collection of material goods, passing through charity auctions and the opening of a telephone listening and guidance service, Special Camps for the youngest fans and the creation of the Special Edition jersey - Manchester 2003 for Ukraine, which has seen the support of a legend of the Rossoneri Club such as Andriy Shevchenko.

To thank Fondazione Milan and the entire Rossoneri family for their support to people affected by the conflict on the International Day of Peace, today the 2004 Ballon d'Or winner visited Casa Milan offices and welcomed the fans, autographing their shirts from the special collection, inspired by the one worn by the former Rossoneri number 7 during the 2002/03 Champions League final won at the Old Trafford stadium in Manchester and enriched with the colours of the Ukrainian flag, the words 'AC Milan for Peace' and the symbol of peace.

The initiative was immediately welcomed with great enthusiasm by the Rossoneri fans, who sold out the first shirts made available in just a few days, allowing to gift over 200,000 euros to finance projects and aid for the population affected by the conflict. The last jerseys of the collection are now available again in the Casa Milan store and online, and the proceeds will continue to finance projects to support the Ukrainian population. It was Shevchenko himself who announced today that, among these, Fondazione Milan will be committed to contributing to the reconstruction of the Central City Stadium in Irpin, a city in the Kiev oblast that has been profoundly devastated by the bombing.
