The Manchester United Foundation was created to help young people in the area by teaching children life skills through education and 'innovative and inspiring' programmes.
They also assist United's partner charities and 'organise once-in-a lifetime experiences for children and adults who suffer from life-limiting or terminal illnesses' by setting up 'Dream Days' and visits from their favourite players.
United's first team stars will be hoping to put a smile on even more faces on Wednesday when they go up against Championship outfit Ipswich at Old Trafford.
