Profits from Leyton Orient’s pre-season friendly on Saturday, July 27 against a Norwich City XI will go to the Justin Edinburgh 3 Foundation.
The foundation was set up by the family of the late Orient head coach in order to raise money for charities related to heart and brain health, as well as campaigning to change the law to ensure all health and fitness clubs in the country are equipped with defibrillators.
The match will be the first time the squad return to the Breyer Group Stadium since Edinburgh’s passing last month.
Orient’s first pre-season friendly, a 5-0 win against Harlow Town on Saturday, saw over £800 raised for the foundation while Billericay Town held a fundraising match against Mark Wright’s All Star XI in Edinburgh’s memory.
Tickets for the match against Norwich can be bought on the club’s ticketing site, OnlyOneOrient.com, and are priced at £10 for adults, £5 for concessions and £1 for under-18s.
