The money was donated from the amount raised this season's Charity Shield final between Manchester United and Chelsea.

The other charities to benefit from donations from the club will be the Macmillan Windmill Appeal and the Mayors Appeal. A cheque for the Mayor's Appeal will be presented before Blackpool's next home match against Cheltenham on Monday.
