Vitesse collection raises €15,794.94 for Support Casper
Vitesse’s Number 4 match against MVV, held in memory of Theo Bos, raised €15,794.94 for Support Casper. The charity funds pancreatic cancer research; Bos died from the disease in 2013.
Connection Vitesse with Support Casper
Vitesse legend Theo Bos died from pancreatic cancer in 2013 at the age of just 47. Having seen the disease’s devastating impact at close quarters, Vitesse Betrokken chose to support Professor Casper van Eijck and his team in their search for better treatments.
Number 4 game
This year’s Number 4 match against MVV honoured Theo Bos. Supporters applauded ‘Mister Vitesse’ in the fourth minute. An early goal from Irakli Yegoian gave Vitesse a 1–0 lead, which the team held until the final whistle.
Collection at GelreDome
Before the match, volunteers collected donations for pioneering pancreatic cancer research. Supporters could give cash or scan a QR code to donate online.
Together, the collection, football-shirt auction and sales of scarves and tickets raised €15,794.94.
We thank Vitesse for its hospitality and every donor for their contribution.
