This is a unique opportunity for Members and supporters to help AFC Rushden & Diamonds, ensure the future of their Club, beyond the impact of the COVID-19 crisis; this is the time when the Club needs financial backing and support the most.
Over the last few weeks direct appeals to existing Club Members, Supporters and Sponsors has generated significant financial revenue, through sales of advanced season tickets, membership renewals and increased shop sales. Following feed-back we have examined ways of attracting significant donations. Therefore, we are launching an exciting new initiative to raise further donations and revenue over a limited period.
It is called “Club2020” and is very different to what we have had in place previously. This Time and Membership limited patronage club, we hope appeals to those individuals or companies who are able to make a specific and significant donation to the Club and raise considerable additional funds. This initiative is part of an ambitious – but sustainable – budget plan to financially secure that future for the Club. Allowing everyone associated with the Club to look forward – at this difficult time – to successful 2020/21 seasons at Senior and Academy levels.
Club2020 will be limited to a maximum of 20 memberships. Applications for membership are open now, until midnight Friday 31st July 2020. Membership is valid for one season, with the option of renewing annually at a significantly discounted donation amount for existing members.
The 2020-21 donation amount for Club2020 membership has been set at £2,020 to recognise the extra importance of this year.
