Get your whole school involved in fundraising for The Sir Bobby Robson Foundation to help build The Sir Bobby Robson Institute, a brand new world-leading £30m cancer trials centre based at The Freeman Hospital.

The institute will directly benefit patients across the North East, North Cumbria and North Yorkshire.

All the money raised by the generosity of our supporters will go into building and equipping the institute – allowing it to increase trial capacity by 50% and accelerate the development of life-changing drugs and therapies to detect and tackle cancer.

Fundraising is fun for the whole school

We have lots of ideas to help get you started:
  • Keepy uppy challenge – collect sponsorship based on how many keepy ups you can complete without dropping the   ball. Who will keep the ball up in the air the longest?
  • Sir Bobby’s football run – run as many laps as you can around your school field or why not set a distance to aim to run.
  • Football themed quiz night – host an evening trivia night covering world cups, club histories, and famous goals. Sell snacks and drinks to boost profits.
  • Football shirt day – wear your favourite football shirt to school for the day and make a small donation.
  • Beat the goalie/penalty shootout – set up a goal at lunchtime. Charge a small fee for three shots against a teacher.
  • Kids v staff or parent match – host a match during a school assembly or after hours. Charge spectators a nominal admission fee to watch.
