September 18, 2024 | by Nabillah Akhtar
Renetta Edwards, a coach based in Yorkshire, recently celebrated a £250 win through the Grassroots Amateur Boxing Lottery (GRAB).
Edwards, who has been actively involved in her local amateur boxing community, first discovered the fundraising platform through England Boxing’s official channels. Recognising it as an excellent opportunity to generate funds for her newly established boxing club, she decided to give it a try.
The GRAB Lottery is a fundraising initiative designed specifically to support grassroots boxing clubs across the UK. By allowing participants to enter for a chance to win cash prizes, it simultaneously helps clubs raise much-needed funds to sustain and grow their operations.
Reflecting on her win, Renetta said: “This really proves that if I can win, anyone can! I’d recommend clubs to sign up as this project helps us raise funds ourselves in a simple, user-friendly way.”
Since Goole Amateur Boxing Club began promoting the lottery through their social media channels, particularly Facebook, they have already raised over £190 This success comes after just a short time of using the platform.
Her success highlights the significant benefits of the GRAB Lottery for amateur boxing clubs across the country. Not only does it provide a fun and engaging way for supporters to contribute, but it also offers clubs like Renetta’s a sustainable way to raise funds, ensuring that local boxing communities can continue to thrive and grow.
For clubs looking for new ways to raise funds and for supporters hoping to get involved in a meaningful cause, the Grassroots Amateur Boxing Lottery is proving to be a win-win opportunity!
