New Friends of the Foundation, Lloyds Banking, Capita, Huntswood and RFS, recently held a fundraising event for Leeds Rhinos Foundation and their staff raised £2600 through a raffle and matched fundraising from the businesses.
The fundraising event was attended by Ronnie the Rhino and Leeds Rhinos stars Kallum Watkins and Cameron Smith. As well as becoming Friends of the Foundation, Lloyds Banking, Capita, Huntswood and RFS have become Leeds Rhinos Buisness Ambassadors and they will be able to offer their staff exclusive ticket offers to Leeds Rhinos home and away games, Magic weekend, Challenge Cup final and Grand final games as well as support for charity fundraising.
Speaking about the fundraising, Kate Lightfoot, Leeds Rhinos Foundation’s Partnership Officer said: “I’m absolutely over the moon with the support shown by Lloyds, Capita, RFS and Huntswood staff over the past few weeks. They’ve not only raised a fantastic amount through the raffle – but to see so many people attend the event this afternoon was truly fantastic.
“Thanks to Chloe, Claire, Claire and Sue for all their support in organising and putting on such a worthwhile event, and thanks again to all staff for such a massive contribution. Your generosity will help the Leeds Rhinos Foundation to continue to Change Lives Through Sport by delivering an array of Health, Education and Community programmes locally.”
