For the second year running, Durata donated their front of shirt of sponsorship to the Foundation.
On a special day for the Foundation, where warm-up t-shirts were emblazoned with the Foundation logo, scores of participants from their Premier League Kicks programmes including Borobility, a programme for disabled youngsters, took part in various activities throughout an afternoon which ended in a dramatic 2-2 draw with Barnsley.
The match mascot is a Virtual Schools participant, half-time penalties featured Borobility participants as well as youngsters from the crowd, while the players came out to a flag-waving reception which ran over the length of one stand. All this going on in front of a family who brought their latest addition to a game for the very first time.
Deputy head of the Foundation Craig McManus commented: “We’re so grateful for this gesture from Durata.
“I know there is a strong relationship between Durata and the Foundation and they’re big Boro fans too. They know what we’re about, they know what we try to do to help the communities of Teesside, and they very much share the same values. So “thank-you” to Durata, and of course to the Boro Women’s team, this was so kind.”
The Foundation’s business development manager Paul Shepherd adds: “This is a massive couple of weeks for the Foundation and we’re so grateful for all the support we’ve been given.
“We’re so grateful to everyone. I go to all the Boro Women’s games and really enjoy them; this one was just a little more special because of our involvement.
“We wish them every success for the remainder of the season.”
