This is a sponsorship fundraiser — get your friends, family, and colleagues to sponsor you for the hours you play. All funds raised go towards building 3 new courts and a Dome for Athlone and the wider Midlands region.
Supporting St. Hilda’s Special School
20% of all sponsorship raised will be donated to St. Hilda’s Special School, Athlone — a co-educational school supporting pupils aged 4–18 with moderate or severe/profound learning disabilities, many of whom also have physical disabilities, sensory impairment, or autism spectrum disorders.
St. Hilda’s mission is “Real education for real life” — helping every student achieve their full potential and preparing them, as far as possible, for the responsibilities and experiences of adult life. We’re proud to play our small part in supporting that work.
