🌟 Final Sponsorship Opportunity Available 🌟

Our second Memorial Day is fast approaching — a day dedicated to celebrating the life and legacy of our much‑loved player Nathan, while raising vital funds for two incredible charities.

As you can imagine, running a full‑day event comes with significant costs. To ensure that as much money as possible goes directly to charity, we rely on the kindness and generosity of people and businesses willing to support the day.

We now have one final sponsorship slot available.

This sponsorship will directly fund live music, artists, and bands performing throughout the entire day — helping us create an unforgettable atmosphere in Nathan’s honour.

This is a fantastic opportunity to:
* Support the club and our chosen charities.
* Celebrate and honour Nathan’s memory.
* Have your business represented at a well‑attended community event.
* Have your business promoted on our events page and social media channels, as well as throughout the day.

If you’d like to get involved, please message the club page or contact Amelia at [email protected].
