This summer, MARS is encouraging Britain to get out and have a ball as part of its new, MARS Balls Get Britain Playing campaign. MARS will be giving away 200,000 balls, split between football, cricket, rugby and tennis, so you don’t just have to watch your heroes, you can play like your heroes too. MARS has enlisted the help of sporting legends from the world of tennis, cricket, rugby and football – Pat Cash, Darren Gough, Austin Healey and John Barnes respectively – to encourage the nation to get involved.
With a golden summer of sport ahead, MARS is aiming to channel the nation’s spirit and optimism and encourage the country to go out, get active and play. In 2009 MARS want to help the public Bounce Into A Summer Of British Sport
