#2 BFC CARE initiative

The BFC CARE initiative has been an integral program to help the fans be a part of the club. The BFC CARE is a social responsibility program of the club which has worked across various fields and communities to provide a positive impact on the society.

Before the start of this season of the Indian Super League, the club invited local volunteers to come for a cleanliness drive in order to clean the area around their home ground, Sree Kanteerva stadium. On another day, they also went on and painted certain areas outside the stadium in collaboration with the fans who volunteered for the job. There are different programmes that the fans can volunteer themselves for, to work closely with the club to provide a positive impact on the society.

Apart from this, BFC has also collaborated with various organisations and NGOs to provide underprivileged children in Bangalore a chance to play football, by organising training camps and gifting them footballs and jerseys.

BFC has also received good responses from the players, who most often make themselves available for these activities in some or the other way.
