Mitchell Carling, a 16-year-old from Dundee, is making headlines again by raffling his Euro 2024 opening game tickets to raise funds for two children’s charities. Mitchell, no stranger to charitable efforts, has previously orchestrated a successful raffle that significantly supported JDRF and Caudwell Children, the latter aiding disabled and autistic children in the UK.
Reflecting on his past fundraising efforts and what inspired his latest campaign, Mitchell shared, “When I decided to raffle the Europa League Final tickets, although I knew the tickets were in demand I never dreamed I’d raise almost £50,000 for charity. Since that draw I’ve always wanted to do another, and when I managed to get tickets to the opening match of the Euro 2024 tournament, I knew I had the potential to do more good. The two charities I have picked to support once again are close to our family; JDRF because of the support they gave my little sister when she was diagnosed with Type-1 Diabetes, and Caudwell Children because we have seen the work they do and how many people they help.”
