In 2007 the Collingwood Football Club successfully launched ‘Bring a Blanket Day’ at a match at the MCG.
Supporters were encouraged to bring a blanket to the game. Over 1000 blankets were collected at the game and donated to the Salvation Army for distribution to homeless people around Melbourne.
‘Bring a Blanket Day’ will again take place on Saturday when Collingwood takes on Adelaide at the MCG, and all footy fans are encouraged to bring a blanket, and then drop them off at the Blue Star Truck at gate one after the game.
On Wednesday at the Lexus Centre Collingwood president Eddie McGuire was joined by Anthony Rocca, cheer squad member Joffa and the ‘Human Blanket’ himself, 1990 premiership hero Mick Gayfer, to raise awareness for the day and encourage all Magpie supporters to bring a blanket to the MCG on Saturday afternoon and support ‘Bring a Blanket Day’.
Jason Family Bedding is proudly supporting ‘Bring a Blanket Day’, and has kindly donated 100 blankets to get the ball rolling.
