Annual Awards
In April 2011 we hosted an Annual Awards event to recognise and celebrate our top donors of 2010. The GREaT Foundation Annual Awards took place at Ascot Racecourse and nominees were invited to enjoy an afternoon’s racing prior to the awards ceremony.
We appreciate that the last year has been very tough financially for the gambling industry as a whole and it is, therefore, even more gratifying to see organisations such as bet365 making a special effort by increasing its support of The GREaT Foundation.
The number of people affected by problem gambling is not diminishing and the monies donated to us are as much needed now as ever before. On behalf of the beneficiaries, we thank each and every one of you that supported us in 2010/11. For details of our GREaTer and GREaTest 2010 award winners please click here.
We are also extremely grateful to Ascot Racecourse, Betfair, Gala Coral Group, Ladbrokes, Praesepe, Satellite Information Services and William Hill for sponsoring The GREaT Foundation Annual Awards 2010 and making the event possible.
On winning Donor of the Year 2010, Denise Coates – Joint Chief Executive of bet365 - said:
“On behalf of the industry, I would like to thank The GREaT Foundation for all its fundraising efforts. It is important for everyone to support GREaT – every company in the gambling industry should be able to contribute something. Social responsibility is taken very seriously at bet365 and significant donations to GREaT are one of the ways that we can demonstrate that. As one of the world’s leading online gambling companies, bet365 is encouraged to see the online sector maintaining its high levels of support for The GREaT Foundation.”
Annual Awards 2011
The GREaT Foundation Annual Awards 2011 nominees will again be selected by an expert panel representing the gambling industry trade associations and operators.
To qualify for our Annual Awards 2011, please ensure that we receive your 2011/12 donation by 31 December 2011.
When completing your donation remittance form, don’t forget to include the percentage rate of gross gambling yield/profit that your donation represents as this information, together with comparable figures from last year, will help us to identify a wider range of organisations that make an extra effort in supporting us.
