The 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. The 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. “Thanks to the incredible generosity of fans, sponsors, partners, staff, volunteers, everyone that donated auction or raffle prizes, and those that put money in our collection buckets, or bought raffle 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.
