Everton in the Community is fast approaching its 27th anniversary and the upcoming home game against Leicester City on Sunday 22 February has been designated as the official birthday fixture of the charitable arm of Everton Football Club.

To celebrate this special occasion, the Club’s official charity is launching its first ever Blue Nose Day and has produced limited edition #eitc27 Blue Noses for fans to wear to the game against the Foxes and show their support for all that Everton in the Community does.

A host of activities are scheduled for the Leicester City fixture with fun for all the family to join in with as well as the opportunity to win prizes if you are pictured wearing your #eitc27 Blue Nose at the game.

These limited edition #eitc27 Blue Noses are available to buy now from Everton One, Everton Two, Park End Reception and Goodison Road Reception and Park End Reception for a suggested donation of just £2. Blue Noses will also be available to buy on the day of the game at various points around Goodison Park including the Fanzone.
