Sporting A Cause

Monthly Archives: December 2018

Happy New Year !

As we wind down the last few days of 2018 there is a temptation to wax nostalgic about events of the past year as well as voice our predictions for the next.

Instead, I’ll simply offer my hopes that you’ve enjoyed a healthy and happy 2018, and I wish you and your loved ones more of the same in the coming year.

I end this final blog of 2018 with a list of the charities that have benefited from all of the sports-related fundraisers covered in sportingAcause this year. I think you will agree that many deserving causes benefited from the efforts of many giving hearts.
