The Lanka Premier League 2023 has raised Rs. 6.7 million for the ‘Little Hearts’ Project of the Lady Ridgeway Children’s Hospital during the first 20 games played so far.
So far, the tournament has seen 497 boundaries, 185 sixes scored, and 1802 dot balls bowled. Sri Lanka Cricket will donate to the ‘Little Hearts’ project Rs. 4000 for each boundary scored, Rs. 6000 for every six scored, and Rs. 2000 for every dot ball bowled during the tournament.
The funds will help build a ‘Cardiac and Critical Care Complex’ at the LRH, which, once built, will help treat children with congenital heart diseases (CHD) and critical illnesses. Sri Lanka Cricket will also contribute some of the funds collected from ticket sales to the Little Hearts Fund.
