Sheffield
Fans Derby become National Fundraising Inspiration
Following the success of the Sheffield
Fans Derby Sport Relief have decided to use the event
as a fundraising idea for people to support Sport Relief
2010. It is featured on the national website under the
main fundraising ideas category “The Rivals”,
a brand new feature on the website. The story can be
found in full by following this link "The
Rivals, Fundraising, SFD"
Having raised over £4000 over
the four games in the last two years it is a great boost
to be recognised like this. We provided the details
to Sports Relief and they produced their own article.
In brief the Sheffield Fans Derby started in April 2008
when Iain Atkins and Jon Rowbotham got together a group
of lads for a football game for Sport Relief raising
£273.10. Since then it has gone from strength
to strength raising over £770 for Bluebell Wood,
over £2180 for Cavendish Cancer Care and over
£800 for Help the Heroes. Please look around our
website for more information.
We are now planning the first game of
2010 so watch this space. We are also looking for sponsorship
for the event so please contact us if you would like
to help.
