We have some fantastic news to share with you.

Over recent months, the team have been working hard and speaking with various parties. We can now gladly announce that Lionsraw has agreed ongoing partnerships with Middlesbrough FC and FC Dallas.

Lionsraw is delighted to be announced as Major League Soccer side FC Dallas’ sole international ‘charity of choice’. As part of the FC Dallas Foundation, the club will be working in the community with us, running projects together and working closely to provide opportunities for supporters of those clubs in particular to make a difference Home and Away and create Chances For Change.

No time has been wasted. Already, FC Dallas and Lionsraw will be running a Gear Up Project. The project aims to collect kit and football equipment, which will be sent and used in out work in Brazil for the 2014 World Cup.

We have also launched the Twitter handle @LionsrawUSA as a way of following all news and events in the States.

Lionsraw will also be working in partnership with Middlesbrough FC in the community. We are already working in the area with Cleveland Juniors Football Club, and we will endeavour to begin new projects and create Chances for Change at Home and Away.

Keep an eye on our social media sites, @Lionsraw on Twitter and the Lionsraw Facebook page.

These partnerships continue our aim of being a global movement. We are so pleased that so many people around the world are on board with us. It feels like the journey is only just beginning.
