Charity fundraiser 2011
Our 2011 summer charity tournament was held on behalf of the Sheffield Steelers Wheelchair Basketball team and Boots for Africa. Everyone in the team threw themselves into the fundraising and in total we raised £1,100!
The highlight of our fundraising was the annual six-a-side summer tournament on Saturday 23 July. Fancy dress kits were the order of the day and friends and family turned out to cheer the teams on. We also boosted our fundraising with a raffle, cake sale and auction of sporting memorabilia, with lots and sponsorship kindly donated by Sheffield Wednesday, Sheffield United, Sheffield FC, Rotherham United, Sheffield Eagles, Marussia Virgin Racing, British Cycling, Henry Boot and Tesco.
You can see our auction lots and winning bidders here.
The tournament was played at Sheffield Hallam University's Collegiate Crescent campus, with Sport Hallam providing the use of the pitch for free. Below are some of the photos from a fantastic day and from our presentations to our two chosen charities.

Presentation to Sheffield FC for Boots for Africa
On Tuesday 13 September 2011 Sheffield FC invited members of Nunny's Funky Boots to their game v Brigg Town as special VIP guests, as a thank you for raising £550 for the club's charity, Boots for Africa. We had our photo taken on the pitch as we handed over the big cheque for our final total and enjoyed a great welcome from the club. And Sheffield FC won the game 1-0! Thanks to all at the club for their hospitality.
