Club Doncaster Foundation Awards

16 May 2018

On Friday 25th May 2018 we’ll be hosting our first ever Club Doncaster Foundation awards evening. Hosted here at the Keepmoat Stadium, we will be celebrating the achievements of our participants and partners across our four key areas of work.

The awards will kick start a four day Festival of Sport that will see teams from across the UK and Europe competing in the Kids Cup, along with the Doncaster Business for the Community Cup, a unique three-a-side tournament and a girls’ tournament – all playing on the Keepmoat Stadium turf.

Jim Lord, CEO of Club Doncaster Foundation commented:

The inaugural Club Doncaster Foundation Awards Evening will kick start a spectacular four day festival of sport at the Keepmoat Stadium, attracting over 2000 participants to Doncaster over the late May bank holiday.

Club Doncaster Foundation's aim is to improve lives across all our communities by delivering excellence in education, sport, physical activity and inclusion.

"I'm sure that the awards will be a wonderful evening and with the generous support of our sponsors and key partners we'll celebrate and recognise the fantastic impact our initiatives are having right across the borough."

The awards wouldn’t have been possible without the fantastic organisations that have supported the event by sponsoring an award.
