Our exciting ‘Dare to Dream’ summer community campaign
running alongside Euro 2020 kicked off in June.
Thank you everyone for your support and we’re delighted to have raised over £14,500!! This was to celebrate the first time the Scottish Men’s National Team qualified for a major tournament in 23 years! We were delighted to have fantastic support from fundraisers hosting their own Euro 2020 parties, sweepstakes, video challenges and bucket collections! We also held a fabulous sports auction and prize draw to win 2 tickets to the Scottish Cup Final in 2022! Despite Scotland not making it out of the group stages, it was still an exciting, enjoyable and, at times, nail-biting campaign! Well done to winners Italy! Huge thanks go to Chris McMail and the team at Microtech for their amazing support as the campaign sponsor. Also, thank you to the SFA, Cook School Scotland, Ayr United FC, Kilmarnock F.C, all our prize donors and our video celebrities who helped promote the campaign.
