"It’s obviously given us great exposure and helped raise awareness of our service for children and young people with life-threatening conditions, and their families, across the region.
"""I’m really pleased the club’s support will continue in other ways, such as the upcoming zip slide at Portman Road.”""
Town will announce the name of the new charity whose name will appear on the back of the next season’s shirts later in the month.
