Ratcliffe 2020 is our five-year fundraising appeal,<br />
which, with long-term support from the Ratcliffe<br />
community, aims to enrich the lives of today’s students, and to help prepare them<br />
to lead constructive, confident and contented lives in tomorrow’s world. In December<br />
2015, we launched our Sports Appeal as part of Ratcliffe 2020 and<br />
we have begun promoting it through various fundraising events:<br />
SPORTING DINNER THURSDAY 24 th MARCH <strong>2016</strong><br />
In March, we held a Sporting Dinner to help raise funds<br />
towards the Ratcliffe 2020 Sports Appeal, with over 100<br />
guests. Our MC for the evening, former Leicester Tigers<br />
star Matt Poole, entertained us with his sporting banter,<br />
and interviewed our special guests Geordan Murphy<br />
(former Leicester Tigers and Ireland player) and Matt<br />
RATCLIFFE GRAND<br />
SUMMER BALL 9 th JULY <strong>2016</strong><br />
Parents, Past-Parents and Old <strong>Ratcliffian</strong>s came together<br />
to enjoy the Ratcliffe Grand Summer Ball on a beautiful<br />
summer’s evening at the end of the Summer Term.<br />
Elliott (former Leicester City FC club captain).<br />
The event raised over £6,000 towards the Sports<br />
Appeal, including a signed LCFC shirt from this<br />
season which raised a staggering £1,500 during<br />
the evening’s auction. Thank you to all those who<br />
supported this event.<br />
The Ball was held in a beautifully decorated marquee near<br />
the Fountain Lawn and, thanks to combined donations<br />
through a raffle and sponsorship, we raised £2,000<br />
towards the Ratcliffe 2020 Sports Appeal.<br />
MOVING FORWARDS<br />
NEW FITNESS SUITE<br />
Over the course of this year, the Foundation has<br />
received donations worth over £60,000, some<br />
of which has been directed to support the Fitness<br />
Suite Appeal. We need to raise £100,000 before<br />
we can commence work on the new Fitness Suite;<br />
so we will continue to seek donations as we<br />
move into the second year of our Appeal, with<br />
the aim of being able to begin the building<br />
work in 2017-18.<br />
