MORE money has flooded into the Somebody's Daughter memorial fund thanks to generous footballers.
To mark the official opening of Ipswich Borough Council's new Grafton House headquarters, a team of council staff took on employees from RG Carter, the firm who constructed the building.
And after the final whistle had blown at the end of an enthralling 9-5 council victory, players dug deep to make a donation to the fund.
The cash will be added to the spiralling fund total, which stands at around £18,000.
The Somebody's Daughter fund was launched in the wake of the killings of five women in and around Ipswich during December.
The Evening Star, in conjunction with Ipswich Borough Council, created the fund to help vulnerable young people.
It is aimed to raise enough cash to open a refuge for drug addicts and vice girls.
How to donate: Online at www.eveningstar.co.uk, in person at Ipswich Borough Council's customer service centre in the Town Hall, by calling 01473 433777, or by sending a cheque, made payable to Somebody's Daughter Memorial Fund, to PO Box 772, Ipswich Borough Council, Grafton House, 15-17 Russell Road, Ipswich, Suffolk, IP1 2DE.
