Over £10,000 raised to support grassroots sport in our region.
The evening celebrated the North East’s top young sporting talent with the Rising Star Awards. While the main awards included recognition for Stephen Miller the region’s most successful Olympian who took home The Wilkinson Sword for Lifetime Achievement. The Sporting Success of the year was awarded to the organising committee for the Newcastle 2019 European Rugby Finals.
Matthew Squires, Trustee of Sport Newcastle said “The dinner was a celebration of the very best of sport in our region and showcased the success of our ambitious Tokyo & Beyond fundraising appeal. Sport is a huge part of the North East culture and without the generous support of local businesses and individuals we simply could not do our part in encouraging and supporting the region’s rising stars.”
