Northampton Saints Foundation is delighted to announce that DPD will become the headline sponsor of Foundation Day, the charity’s flagship annual fundraising fixture.
The partnership forms part of a major expansion of DPD’s relationship with Northampton Saints, which will also see the leading parcel delivery firm become Stadium Naming Partner at DPD Stadium at Franklin’s Gardens and Principal Partner of Loughborough Lightning.
For the Foundation, DPD’s support will help strengthen and grow Foundation Day, an annual celebration of the charity’s work that brings together supporters, players, partners and the wider community to raise vital funds and awareness.
Foundation Day has become a cornerstone of the Foundation’s fundraising calendar, helping to support programmes that inspire, support and educate people across Northamptonshire and beyond.
The event plays a vital role in enabling the Foundation to continue delivering opportunities that improve wellbeing, build confidence and create brighter futures for thousands of people each year.
“We are incredibly grateful to DPD for extending its support to the Foundation through this partnership,” said Jordan Letts, Chief Executive of Northampton Saints Foundation.
“Foundation Day is a hugely important occasion for us, bringing together the wider Saints family to celebrate and support the work we do across our communities.
“We’re looking forward to working together to make an even greater impact in the years ahead.”
The Foundation works with thousands of people every year through its education, social inclusion, employability and wellbeing programmes, using the power of sport and the values of rugby to create positive change in communities across the region.
DPD’s support of Foundation Day represents a significant investment in that mission and demonstrates a shared commitment to strengthening communities and creating opportunities for future generations.
Justin Pegg, Chief Executive Officer of DPD UK, added: “We’re delighted to be supporting Northampton Saints Foundation as part of our expanded partnership with Northampton Saints.
“The impact the Foundation has across the region is incredibly impressive, and we are proud to play a part in helping it continue its outstanding work.
“Foundation Day is a fantastic celebration of everything the Foundation stands for, and we’re looking forward to working together to help make an even greater impact in the years ahead.”
