Get Your Thinking Caps on For Queen’s Park’s partnership with Epilepsy Scotland

0 0

QUEEN’S PARK FC is proud to announce a club partnership with Epilepsy Scotland this season.

The charity is one close to the Queen’s Park Supporters’ Association and throughout the 2025-26 campaign various initiatives are planned.

The first sees Epilepsy Scotland – and their distinctive purple theme – sponsor our William Hill Championship fixture against Arbroath on August 9 in association with the QPSA.

Players will warm up for that game – our first home league match under Sean Crighton – wearing the charity’s distinctive purple t-shirts, designed by Georgie Hogg.

The club has also donated a matchday experience to the youngster and her purple Pandas pals – and she will be mascot for the occasion.

Not only that, the charity will turn our Black and White Lounge PURPLE for a post-match quiz-night which will raise valuable funds for the cause.

Places are filling up fast and teams have already been entered.

The family of Queen’s Park fan Martin Kelly, who passed away in 2013 to Sudden Unexplained Death in Epilepsy (SUDEP), have also been invited.

Well known and loved in the QPSA, the fans’ travel club player of the year award is also named in his memory. 

Kieran Koszary, head of commercial at Queen’s Park said: “We are delighted to be working with Epilepsy Scotland once again – a cause very close to the heart of the club and our supporters.

“We look forward to the charity turning the Black and White Lounge purple and hosting their fundraising around the ground throughout the day.

“Likewise we look forward to welcoming young Georgi to the club and hope she has a wonderful day as our match mascot against Arbroath.

“Our fan-base are fantastic at supporting our charity partners as well as the team, so we anticipate another fantastic day for all.”

Epilepsy Scotland CEO Lesley Young added: “We are proud to partner with Queen’s Park FC for the 2025–26 season and deeply grateful for their support in raising awareness of epilepsy and, in particular, Sudden Unexpected Death in Epilepsy (SUDEP). 

“Through our Seizure that Stole a Future campaign, we’ve been working to shine a light on SUDEP and the estimated two lives that are lost every week. This partnership is a powerful opportunity to reach new audiences with vital information and support, and we look forward to celebrating the team’s success over the coming season.”

The quiz begins at 7pm in Bar 1867 and costs £10 per person to enter, and ticket price includes a buffet. Maximum of six people per team.  to enter.
