Merry Christmas to all our Community!
Our Santa Dash concluded today as we took the number of schools we have visited in December to 63.
The mission was to call in to as many schools as possible in the local area who have worked with the Saints Community Development Foundation on the SkyTry Programme.
They each received a family ticket to the Castleford game on February 2 and were entered into a draw to win a framed signed shirt amongst other prizes.
Lead Community Coach Ian Talbot said: “We’d like to thank all the schools we have worked with us over the course of the year. The reception has been outstanding and we appreciate the commitment from each and every one of you.
“The idea of the Dash was to give something back to each one of those schools, and alongside the first team squad, we wanted to show we are Saints and Proud of our community.
“The entire first team squad were involved and I would like to thank them all for their help.
“Last but not least, Boots was also out and about too! Today for instance he visited Mill Green and Lansbury Bridge schools where he was greatly recieved.
“He brought smiles to lots of youngsters.”
