Foundation of Light Golf Day returns for 2024
Foundation of Light Golf Day returns to the Prince Bishops' course at Ramside Hall on Thursday 25th July.
It’s a fantastic honour to receive the PFA Community Champion Award. I enjoy being a part of the community work the Foundation and club do around the area and it's a great feeling to be able to give something back.
Donald LoveSimona's commitment in promoting the Foundation's women and girls football programmes, including inspiring over 80 youngsters at a Premier League Primary Stars Football Festival, saw her collect the Community Champion Award on behalf of SAFC Ladies. The Austria forward, 23, who has enjoyed an impressive first season for the Lady Black Cats, also backed the Beacon of Light which will engage thousands of young people and adults in sport each year. Koren added: "I am absolutely thrilled to be named SAFC Ladies' PFA Community Champion for this season. "It's really important for female players to be positive role models for girls wanting to get involved in football and vital we help grow the women’s game." The Community Champion Awards are facilitated by the Professional Footballer’s Association (PFA) and recognise players' outstanding contribution to their club's community projects. Jamie Wright, Assistant Director for Sales and Delivery, said: "Donald and Simona have made an outstanding contribution to our community work across the North East and we are proud to present them with their awards. "We’re very lucky to have players who give up their spare time to support the Foundation, inspire our participants and highlight our work."
