A city in Rhode Island makes a donation of more than $10,000 to Glasgow Children’s Hospital Charity following the impact of the Tartan Army during the World Cup. According to reporting from Scottish outlets, the supporters’ presence and recognition linked to their “takeover” in Providence leads to a thank-you initiative that results in additional fundraising for sick children in Glasgow.
The Glasgow Times says a “£8k Providence thank you” from the city helps power a £10.5k boost for the hospital charity. The Daily Record similarly reports that Rhode Island raises over $10,000 for the Glasgow Children’s Hospital to honour the Tartan Army, tying the donation to the Scots leaving a “huge impression” during the World Cup. Both accounts describe the donation as a gesture of appreciation connected to the Tartan Army’s activities around the tournament and as support directed to the Glasgow Children’s Hospital Charity.
All sources agree the money raised by the US city is earmarked for the Glasgow Children’s Hospital Charity and is linked to the World Cup-era Tartan Army presence.
