On 13th December 2003 a Charity badge was sold (£1 donation) outside Celtic Park on behalf of The Celtic Charity Fund. The principal beneficiaries were be motor neurone disease charities. Jimmy Johnstone Celtic legend was diagnosed with this disease. In 2004 a 2nd badge was available outside Celtic Park on 25th September 2004. The badge was a fund raiser for The Brother Walfrid Memerial Appeal. There are 2 sightly different versions. On 29th April 2007 a 3rd Celtic Charity Fund badge day was held. This badge was available for a £1 donation (minimum) before the home match v Hearts. The badge was a nice 40th anniversary of Lisbon issue. See image below On 11th May 2008 a 4th Celtic Charity Fund badge day at the Celtic v Hibernian SPL match saw a lighter new Celtic Cross style badge issued. On 24th May 2009 Celtic held their 5th Charity Fund badge day at Celtic v Hearts match. To me the badge available is identical to May 2008 badge - a pity no one bothered to put effort into making a new design.
