The UK Sea Hawkers, the official booster club for Seattle Seahawks fans in the United Kingdom, are planning numerous events the week leading up to the Seahawks’ Week 6 contest against the Oakland Raiders in London.

They are also planning to raise money and awareness for Hilinski’s Hope, a non-profit charity started by the Hilinski family after their son, former Washington State quarterback Tyler Hilinski, committed suicide in January. The charity aims to educate, advocate and de-stigmatize mental health issues.

The UK Sea Hawkers’ website has more details:

"We will have wristbands (in 3 colours- including a special one for this weekend) and #HilinskisHope t-shirts and hoodies on offer via raffles, auctions and flat-sale with ALL proceeds going to the foundation as we look to support a worthy cause back in the motherland state."

The Sea Hawkers were inspired to help raise funds for the charity after a Sports Illustrated article about Hilinski was released.
