Doncaster Athletics Club Grand Prize Draw

Doncaster Athletics Club (Doncaster AC) need to raise around £20000 in the next 12 months, in order to replace ageing equipment, and, as we do not have the luxury of indoor training facilities, to purchase covers that will prolong the life of the new equipment, from the continual exposure to the elements.

To help us achieve this goal, we are looking to hold a Grand Christmas Draw, and are seeking your help in creating a prize list that will make the tickets a "MUST HAVE" item. Would you, or your business, be prepared to donate anything that can be added to our prize list? A holiday? A TV? A Spa Day? A big hamper?

We will be happy to participate in publicity, both of your donation, and of the winner(s) receiving their prize(s). The right prizes could help us raise half of our required total, and go a long way towards helping the large number of excellent young athletes we have at the club, maintain the excellent facilities we have, and that they need, to possibly become future Olympic Champions.
 
If you can help, please get in touch asap, as we want to start selling tickets by the beginning of November, at the latest.

Kind Regards
