Sponsors JP Morgan Asset Management have promised to donate £100 to Premiership Rugby’s official charity for every try scored in the tournament.
It means £3,200 was raised for Sport Relief at last Friday's first leg at the Twickenham Stoop, when Saracens and London Irish qualified for the August 3 final at The Recreation Ground.
Tigers take on Pool B opponents London Welsh, Northampton Saints and hosts Sale Sharks at Edgeley Park on Friday.
"We are delighted that JP Morgan Asset Management has decided to make this donation and support Sport Relief," said Premiership Rugby chief executive Mark McCafferty.
"London Irish, Saracens, London Wasps and Harlequins threw down the challenge last Friday with 32 tries. It's now up to London Welsh, Northampton Saints, Leicester Tigers and Sale Sharks to beat that total this Friday.”
The cash donation will help the charity continue its great work in the UK and Overseas. In 2012, Sport Relief made a significant contribution to Premiership Rugby's award-winning social inclusion programme Hitz.
"J.P. Morgan Asset Management is really pleased to join the Premiership Rugby / Sport Relief Team for Change by donating £100 per try scored during the JP Morgan Premiership Rugby 7s Series," said Hetty Sowerby, head of sponsorship at JP Morgan Asset Management.
“We can always guarantee fast, high scoring rugby at the 7s so we are looking forward to see how many tries are scored at Edgeley Park this Friday, which will mean a sizable donation to Sport Relief to support people living unimaginably tough lives.”
