LFC supports Radio City Cash for Kids: Mission Christmas As part of Liverpool FC s Operation Christmas Magic campaign, the club supported Radio City Cash for Kids: Mission Christmas to ensure no child would wake up on Christmas Day without a gift.
The festive initiative raised more than £1.3 million in total, with the club donating 1,750 gifts and contributing more than £5,000 of donations from its own fundraising activity.
The club also reached out to the wider LFC family, who donated new and unwrapped gifts at official stores in Liverpool and Chester. All donations were provided to children living in the Liverpool City Region, who would have otherwise woken up on Christmas Day without a toy or gift.
