Northampton Saints Foundation
Community spirit and overwhelming generosity make it a special day
Northampton Saints Foundation has announced the overwhelm- ing success of its annual Foundation Day, which raised an incredible £57,891.13 to support the organisation’s life-changing work. T e April event took place during Northampton Saints’ Gallagher
Premiership clash against Bristol Bears at cinch Stadium at Franklin’s Gardens, which was alive with community spirit. Adding to the celebrations, Northampton Saints secured a 48-31
victory over Bristol Bears, making the day even more memorable. It was also a landmark occasion for much-loved Kit Man Kev, who marked his 700th game with the club. From the energy of the pre-match activities to the excitement of
the half-time challenge, proudly sponsored by QLM Search, the day was packed after six months of planning. Supporters had the chance to meet Saints players in the
supporter village, take part in a raffl e, and bid in an auction that featured exclusive experiences and personalised memorabilia. Special thanks go to Levy, Polar Bars, D&J Catering, and Northampton Saints staff and players for their outstanding support
throughout the day. T e Foundation is also immensely grateful to Approved Business Finance, who sponsored foam shoes, adding a fun element to the event; and to Workwear and cinch for their ongoing partnership and vital support of Foundation Day and the Foundation’s wider mission. Since last year’s Foundation Day, the Foundation has increased
the number of people it supports to over 7,000 during the 2023- 2024 academic year, through partnerships with Tresham College, expansion of its Engage Programme, and the launch of new education programmes. T e funds raised during this year’s event will allow the Foundation to continue growing its reach and impact across the community. “I want to thank everyone that helped us to reach this fantastic
total,” said Sue Wright, Head of Fundraising at Northampton Saints Foundation. “T anks to the incredible generosity of fans, sponsors, partners, staff , volunteers, everyone that donated auction or raffl e prizes, and those that put money in our collection buckets, or bought raffl e tickets, or bid on our auction items, this year’s Foundation Day has been a huge success, and I am immensely proud of the team that have planned and delivered it.” An auction to win the players warm-up T-shirts will raise additional funds that will be added to the overall Foundation Day total.
