QPR have confirmed that the club will wear special charity shirts when the Rs host to Rotherham at Loftus Road on August 22.
Earlier this summer, the club confirmed plans to hold a special match day dedicated to Stan Bowles, who has recently been diagnosed with a form of Alzheimer’s.
And amongst other planned activities on ‘Stan Bowles Day’, the R’s home shirts will carry the Alzheimer's Society logo, generously donated by AirAsia - while each match-worn shirt will be signed by the respective player, and auctioned off at the 1975/76 Gala Night Event.
And the gesture has been received warmly with gratitude from the ex-footballer's family.
“This is a fantastic gesture from AirAsia and we are extremely grateful to everyone at the club for facilitating this," his daughter Tracy said.
“The level of support we’ve received from QPR, the Trust, the Rangers fans and the wider footballing community at large has been mind-blowing, but what’s just as important is that everyone understands the condition and everything associated with it.
“As a family, we’re all really looking forward to the day – and Stan is too.”
And chief executive at the Alzheimer's Society, Jeremy Hughes, has also stated his support for Rangers' dedicated day for Bowles and the society.
“It’s fantastic that Queens Park Rangers is raising money for the Alzheimer’s Society to help people with dementia live well.
"By holding a ‘Stan Bowles Day’ and putting the Alzheimer’s Society logo on their players’ shirts, the club will make a big difference for Stan and his family and raise awareness about a condition which affects so many people."
