Leeds Rhinos Foundation will be benefitting over 60 children from the Leeds community thanks to the Score to Explore and Kicks for Boots initiatives supported by Geoff and Gill Caplan and Cover Structure Ltd
The Score to Explore initiative sponsored by Geoff and Gill Caplan, will be sending 31 children from a disadvantaged background on a special adventure day this summer organised by Leeds Rhinos Foundation Community Clubs Development Officer Sam Horner.
Geoff and Gill Caplan, who are long term supporters of the Leeds Rhinos Foundation, have funded a place for each of the 31 tries scored by the Rhinos at Headingley Carnegie Stadium this season.
Leeds Rhinos top try scorer for the regular season Kallum Watkins, who tallied a total of nine tries commented: “It’s fantastic to hear that my tries this season and all the points scored by the team at Headingley Carnegie Stadium will be supporting children from the community thanks to the generosity of our sponsors Cover Structure and Geoff and Gil Caplan.
“The Leeds Rhinos Foundation do some great work in the city supporting people of all backgrounds and this gesture from them and their sponsors will hopefully provide another life changing experience for children who wouldn’t otherwise get to experience an outdoor adventure day.”
Alongside the Score to Explore initiative, points scored by the Rhinos this year from the boot will also benefit community club players with selected players who featured in the half time community rugby selected to win a pair of X-Blades boots.
Jordan Lilley, who tallied over 32 successful kicks during the Super League season, and is an X-Blades ambassador added: “It’s fantastic that young aspiring players can receive a little boost with a free pair of X-Blades as part of this initiative. It’s a brilliant concept by Leeds Rhinos Foundation and sponsor Cover Structure and I’m glad I was able to contribute throughout the season.”
