We’re thrilled to announce the winners of our recent prize draw, which took place over the weekend at the Bournemouth Rugby Youth Festival. The festival saw teams enter from across England and Wales, from u7s to u15, making it an exciting and diverse event. Not only was it a fun event for all, but we also managed to raise £1460 for The Steve Bernard Foundation and Bournemouth Rugby.
Bournemouth Rugby are charity partners with The Steve Bernard Foundation. The Foundation was set up in memory of the affectionately named Stevie B following his tragic passing in a car accident in November 2005. Following his death, his family and friends were inundated with support and donations. It seemed right, even in the earliest stages that these funds should go to that which Steve loved best, sport.
Since the foundation was formed in February 2006, it has gone on to raise more than £500,000 for sporting projects based across Bournemouth, Dorset, and the South Coast. To date, the foundation has supported more than 400 projects covering more than 30 sports and 4 continents.
The foundation, run entirely by volunteers, has offered guidance, financial support and predominantly equipment to a range of good causes ranging from supporting the AFC Bournemouth Ability Counts Team to potential Olympic athletes of the future; from providing new kit to local boxing clubs to funding outreach projects in Thailand, Uganda, and Kenya.
We’re proud to have been able to contribute to this incredible cause through our prize draw. We would like to thank everyone who supported the prize draw, from donating prizes to selling and purchasing tickets. It’s always a pleasure to engage with our community and offer exciting opportunities like this one, and we’re thrilled that we were able to do so while also supporting such a fantastic foundation.
