FC Utrecht visits Wilhelmina Children’s Hospital en Princess Máxima Center
The last week of March is all about children – and especially those who deserve an extra moment of attention. Where FC Utrecht previously visited the Wilhelmina Children’s Hospital every year and vice versa, this initiative has been expanded this year. Together with main sponsor Conclusion and the Princess Máxima Center, FC Utrecht will bring even more children a visit, because they all deserve it.
On Tuesday 25 March, the players visited both hospitals to give the children a heart to heart and give them an unforgettable day.
On Sunday 30 March, the match between FC Utrecht and sc Heerenveen will be entirely dedicated to the Wilhelmina Children’s Hospital and the Princess Máxima Center. On that day, the children will have a VIP experience. They will travel by player bus and under police escort, to the stadium and enjoy a special afternoon from the skybox.
It is a collaboration from the heart. The Wilhelmina Children’s Hospital and the Princess Máxima Center are inextricably linked. Both literally through the famous rainbow bridge, and in their mission. Every day, doctors and nurses walk in and out to provide children with the best possible care, while scientists join forces to develop the treatments of the future. By making the best possible use of each other’s knowledge and facilities, they strengthen each other.
The same applies to the cooperation between FC Utrecht and Conclusion. By setting up this initiative together, they reinforce the shared core values that say they want to make a difference socially.
