Northampton Saints Foundation is delighted to announce our fourth Foundation Day, is set to take place on Good Friday, 29th March, when Northampton Saints face Saracens in the Gallagher Premiership.
As the charity arm of Northampton Saints, the Foundation use the power of sport and the values of rugby to inspire, support and education thousands of people each year, through their social inclusion and education programmes.
Financially independent from the club, the Foundation must raise over £500,000 this year, to continue their life changing work, with Foundation Day helping to get closer to the target.
Kicking off the Easter weekend under the Friday night lights (kick-off 7.45pm), at cinch Stadium at Franklin’s Gardens, the annual event will involve activities and fun for the whole family.
Rugby fans can expect chances to meet Northampton Saints’ players in the Supporter Village, various activities around the ground, a half time activation and a raffle and auction, with an aim to raise money, so they can support more people in need through their education and social inclusion programmes.
