Adwick Park Rangers raise over £5,000 in cash for kids sport challenge
The Cash for Kids Sports Challenge is an annual fundraising campaign designed to help grassroots sports groups, clubs, teams, and schools
Adwick Park Rangers JFC finished 3rd place overall as the only Doncaster based sports team in this year’s cash for kids sports challenge.
The Cash for Kids Sports Challenge is an annual fundraising campaign designed to help grassroots sports groups, clubs, teams, and schools support disadvantaged or disabled young people aged 18 and under.
Selected groups compete over a four-week window to collect donations and host events. Participating clubs keep every penny they raise during the challenge and are also entitled to a top up grant if they finish inside the top three.
Michael McBurney told the Free Press: “Thanks to the amazing efforts of our coaches, parents, players and supporters, we raised a staggering £5,396.90 in one month, meaning the club won an additional £1,500, that’s a whopping £6,896.90 in total.
“From sponsored events like surfing, sports days, walks, litter picks, parents vs coaches competition, leg waxing, quizzes and everything in between, the effort, generosity and community spirit shown by everyone has been nothing short of outstanding.
“A massive thank you to every coach who organised an event, every parent who gave up their time, every player who got involved and every single person who donated, sponsored or supported us along the way, this what grassroots football is all about.
“We're incredibly proud of what we've achieved together, and every penny will help us continue making Adwick Park Rangers JFC a fantastic place for our young players.”
