Leeds Rhinos Foundation celebrates 20 years of impact

Join Us for a Night to Remember – Leeds Rhinos Foundation 20th Anniversary Fundraising Dinner

Sunday 24th August 2025 | A Unique Celebration of Two Decades of Impact

Leeds Rhinos Foundation is proud to announce a very special event in the charity’s calendar – the 20th Anniversary Fundraising Dinner, taking place on Sunday 24th August 2025. Marking two incredible decades of making a difference in the communities, this promises to be an incredible night! 

The dinner will be held in celebration of Leeds Rhinos Foundation’s milestone year and will bring together friends, fans, partners, and legends of the game for a truly unforgettable occasion.

Guests will enjoy a sparkling night of entertainment, hosted in the stunning Howard Suite at AMT Headingley Stadium, featuring special guests from across the sporting world. There will also be a charity auction packed with exclusive items and a raffle with fantastic prizes – all in support of the charity’s work.

 

From transforming lives through education, health, rugby league and community to inspiring the next generation across Leeds and beyond, Leeds Rhinos Foundation has always stood for positive change. This anniversary dinner is more than a celebration – it’s a chance to power the next 20 years of impact.

Leeds Rhinos Foundation has made a significant impact on the local community over the years through a variety of initiatives. Key programmes, such as the Rugby League Development Plan which has inspired countless individuals to get involved in sport, alongside health projects for people living with arthritis and dementia and education and welfare initiatives to help people maintain their mental health have had a huge impact on the local community over the last twenty years. 

 

Leeds Rhinos Foundation’s commitment to inclusion and accessibility has also yielded impressive success. The Leeds Rhinos Wheelchair team has triumphed in multiple Grand Finals, the Physical Disability team has brought the sport back to people who felt it was no longer accessible, while the Learning Disability Super League team has had the opportunity to play on massive stages, including the Super League’s Magic Weekend. These achievements highlight the charity’s dedication to providing opportunities for everyone, regardless of background or ability. 

The impact of the Leeds Rhinos Foundation was revealed in its first-ever Social Impact Report, released this year. The report showed that for every £1 invested into the charity, £10.49 of social value is generated. This figure is more than 150% higher than the national average for community sport and physical activity, as calculated by Sport England. 

Bob Bowman QPM, CEO of Leeds Rhinos Foundation added:

“This dinner is not just a celebration of the past 20 years – it’s a tribute to everyone who has supported us on our journey and a launchpad for the future. We’re incredibly proud of the lives we’ve been able to impact through the power of sport, education and community engagement. The 20th Anniversary Fundraising Dinner will be a fantastic evening of reflection, connection and inspiration – and we’d love as many people as possible to join us for what promises to be a very special night.”
