Football legends attend launch at Old Trafford
Aon Corporation today launched its four-year shirt sponsorship of Manchester United, reported to be worth £80m.
The launch kicked off with a programme of global charity initiatives designed to promote youth development and healthier initiatives.
The initiative was launched at Manchester United’s Old Trafford Stadium this morning by Aon and Manchester United executives, along with football legends Sir Bobby Charlton and Bryan Robson.
“Based on our shared values of leadership, teamwork, and a passion for excellence, it is difficult to imagine a stronger fit for Aon than Manchester United,” said Greg Case, president and chief executive of Aon.
To mark the start of the sponsorship, the first charity event involved more than 150 of Aon’s Manchester-based colleagues and their families, who participated in a penalty shoot-out competition for the Christie charity – one of England’s leading cancer centres which treats more than 40, 000 patients a year.
