TOWN SEARCH FOR 100 HEROES

Having raised £120,000 during the ‘Keep It Up’ campaign’s inaugural season, Huddersfield Town and the Yorkshire Air Ambulance launched their new fundraising scheme for the 2010/11 season last night – Knights of Yorkshire.

Huddersfield Town and the Yorkshire Air Ambulance are on a quest for 100 heroes who are willing to go above and beyond the call of duty to raise at least £1,000 for the ‘Keep It Up’ campaign.

Not only will you will be raising money for a life-saving cause, but you will also be rewarded with a Huddersfield Town Season Ticket for the 2011/12 season once you have raised £1,000! In addition, you will also be given a ticket for Town’s ‘Super Draw’ – with one lucky winner drawn at random getting a squad number for the 2011/12 campaign!

How you raise the £1,000 is totally up to you, but you will receive the full backing of everyone involved in the ‘Keep It Up’ campaign including event suggestions, invitations to Club-organised events, sponsorship advice and much, much more!

This exciting opportunity is open to everyone; to sign up, simply print off and fill out the PDF form (click HERE to download) and return it to Cammie Batten at the Club with a suggested donation of £10 to secure your place as a ‘Knight of Yorkshire’.

£120,169 RAISED FOR KEEP IT UP

Huddersfield Town and the Yorkshire Air Ambulance celebrated the first year of the ‘Keep It Up’ campaign in fantastic fashion at a packed-out Casa restaurant in Elland last night.

The event marked the end of the inaugural year of ‘Keep it Up’ which has raised a massive £120,169. That money goes towards aiding the continuation and development of both the Yorkshire Air Ambulance and Huddersfield Town Academy.

During the duration of the season a number of fundraising events have been admirably supported by the Club’s supporters and by people from across the Yorkshire region. The season kicked off in excellent fashion with the ‘Pedal for Pounds’ bike ride which raised over £50,000 for the campaign. Throughout the rest of the season other events and auctions took place to try and raise the pre-season target of £100,000. Those included the one-off shirt worn by the first team in the home game against Southend; in the 2-1 victory the team wore a striped shirt in the colours of the YAA – red and yellow.

Commercial Director Sean Jarvis hosted the event last night and commented:

“I am delighted with the amount of money we have managed to raise this season. Thanks go to all the people that have supported the fundraising efforts throughout the season – without them we wouldn’t have been able to smash our target.”

On the night over 100 people attended the event to pay tribute and celebrate the achievements of everyone involved with the KIU campaign. Attendees, which included Deputy Major Councillor Eric Firth (pictured with Andy Booth), enjoyed live music from Steel Band Paradise and indulged in a BBQ style buffet. Also on show was a popular Caricaturist and a magician specialising in card tricks.

Throughout the season a number of auctions have proven massively popular and last night saw a number of items auctioned off, including a signed Gary Roberts’ shirt from the home game against Southend.

The new fundraising initiative for 2010/11 was also announced – ‘Knights of Yorkshire’. This will see 100 people become a ‘Knight’ and raise £1,000 for the Yorkshire Air Ambulance. For more information, click HERE.

Thanks to everyone who contributed to the ‘Keep It Up’ campaign during the 2009/10 season!
