Each entry into the Prize Draw gives you a sporting chance of winning an amazing prize.
If you want to pass your prize on to friends or family, you can! Nearly a third of our 80 prize winners in 2023 decided to gift their prize to a lucky friend, colleague or relative.
All winners will be contacted, twice, by email. Make sure to add sportingchanceprizedraw.com to your safe sender email list. If we receive no response, thereafter, we reserve the right to reallocate the prize.
An email will be sent to all entrants to the Sporting Chance Prize Draw from Monday 18th March with details of the prize winners.
We work with individuals, clubs, and businesses from across the UK’s sporting community to secure amazing prizes. Donors contribute their prizes free-of-charge.
Some of our sporting prizes are donated by our charity partners who operate in or have partnerships in the sports sector. These donations are sourced at no financial expense to the charity.
100% of your donation goes to the charity you select when you enter the Prize Draw.
If you are unsure about which charity to support, you can select the ‘no preference’ option at the top of the drop-down list of charities. 100% of donations received via this option will be split equally amongst our charity partners.
We are financed by several 'Founder Partners' (Corporate Sponsors) who ensure all administration costs associated with the Sporting Chance Prize Draw platform are paid for. This includes any donation transaction fees that donors decide not to cover themselves. Therefore, all the money raised from the Prize Draw is donated to charity.
Many small charities across the UK had their fundraising events postponed, or cancelled entirely, because of the COVID-19 pandemic. Sporting Chance Prize Draw was formed as a response – offering UK charities the chance to fundraise without the need to create or deliver an in-person fundraising event. Our ambition is to grow the platform and the number of causes we support.
Over £120,000 has been raised for charity via the Sporting Chance Prize Draw platform so far.
Our first three Prize Draws, held in March 2021, 2022 and 2023, helped support small UK charities at a time when income from fundraising events was impacted because of the pandemic.
In March 2024, we will be accelerating our impact even further.
