The Quakers, a supporter-owned football organization in England, has revamped its raffle system. They aspire for this makeover to attract increased funding to sustain the team. The raffle, now christened the “Darlington Football Club Lottery,” holds significant importance for the squad. It contributes to expenses such as nurturing young athletes, maintaining the ground, and engaging with the local populace. Participants have the opportunity to win monetary awards, naturally, but the organization strongly emphasizes that partaking in the lottery is a means of directly backing the team. They even utilized contributions from supporters to construct an entirely new stand at their home ground! It serves as an excellent illustration of what a community can accomplish when everyone contributes.
The Quakers of Darlington offer their loyal supporters numerous avenues to demonstrate their allegiance and provide monetary backing. These options encompass the Darlington FC Lottery, Goal Sponsorship, the thrilling “Super 50/50” raffle, and the “Boost the Budget” initiative.
Dating back to 2012, the remarkable benevolence of Darlington FC enthusiasts has resulted in the accumulation of nearly £2 million for their cherished team.
