Northampton Saints Foundation are giving the Club’s supporters the chance to own their very own piece of rugby history, today launching an auction of unique and exciting prizes.
We are also kicking off a raffle, which alongside the auction will raise money to support us through the Covid-19 pandemic.
Within our Social Inclusion Programmes, we are still supporting students who are struggling in – or are excluded from – mainstream education, as well as providing Education Programmes to primary schools to encourage young people to improve their Health, Character and Numeracy skills.
However, like many other businesses and charities, the Covid-19 pandemic has had a huge impact on Northampton Saints Foundation, and we have seen a significant loss in ongoing core funding.
Silent Auction
One of several ways in which we are raising money will be a two-week silent auction, with all proceeds used to support the ongoing work of the Foundation.
We have five amazing items to bid on in our auction, which have kindly been donated by Northampton Saints stars Cobus Reinach, Tom Wood, Alex Waller, Harry Mallinder, and Francois Van Wyk…
LOT 1 – click image to view
The pair of boots worn by Cobus Reinach on his very last appearance wearing the Black, Green and Gold of Northampton Saints. The boots are signed by Cobus and presented in a fantastic frame to keep them safe for posterity. A truly individual and personal item.
Auction now closed.
