A special union symbol patch will be printed on the shirts of the athletes of both teams. The uniforms of the holders of the duel, which will be autographed by the respective players, will be auctioned by the Play For a Cause website. Thus, all the money raised will go to the victims of the disaster.
The auction will start as soon as the game starts and will continue until March 9th. The offer starts at $800.
The Alvinegro Classic takes place at 16:00 (Brasilia time) this Sunday, in Vila Belmiro, Santos.
Understand the tragedy on the coast of Sao Paulo
A severe storm that hit this weekend has caused flooding, landslides and a host of other problems on the Sao Paulo coast. The region is reckoning with dozens of dead and many homeless.
Earlier this week, the governor of São Paulo, Tarcísio de Freitas, declared a state of disaster in six cities on the coast of São Paulo: Guarujá, Bertioga, São Sebastião, Caraguatatuba, Ilhabela and Ubatuba.
In addition, the shirts of each club’s starting 11, signed by their respective players, will be auctioned on the Play For a Cause website. The auction will begin at the kick-off of the match and the proceeds will be donated to the victims of the disaster. Let’s go #JuntosPeloLitorale!
