Strongman legend Mark Felix will be taking on the crossbar challenge to raise money for Accrington Stanley women to get a minibus.
On Sunday, April 30, Stanley Women take on The Isle of Man National Women's Team in a historic free-to-attend match at The Wham Stadium, which will also include a half-time crossbar challenge.
The crossbar challenge, which is being sponsored by Sundown Solutions, will be led by the world record holder and 18-time World's Strongest Man competitor.
Mark will kick off an attempt at hitting the crossbar, with a successful strike set to secure £10,000 towards a new minibus for the club.
Chair of Accrington Stanley Women, Sami Smithson said: "Firstly I would like to say a massive thank you to Mark Felix for heading up our crossbar challenge. He has just competed in his 18th and final World's Strongest Man competition and we will be honoured to have him with us.
"As a club we are always looking to improve and having our own minibus to travel to away games next season would be fantastic for us.
"I can't think of a better time and place than our historic match against The Isle of Man National Women's Team at the Wham Stadium to launch our fundraising attempts and we look forward to further exciting initiatives in the future."
CEO of Sundown Solution, Heath Groves said: "On what is going to be a memorable occasion for everyone involved with Accrington Stanley Women, we are proud to be sponsoring the crossbar challenge which will kickstart a fantastic series of fundraising events and plans for the club. They are looking to raise £35,000 by Christmas, so we want to support them.
"As a business, Sundown has been supporting grassroots football for some time now as we see the huge benefit that it brings to our local communities, and this is something which we are determined to continue."
Accrington Stanley Women and The Isle of Man National Women's Team kicks off at 3pm on Sunday, following a pitchside parade celebrating the success of women's football in the local area, including the 180 players who currently play for Accrington Stanley Women at various age levels, in full Sundown Solutions sponsored match kit.
The match, which takes place at The Wham Stadium, is free to attend for all.
