Big names heading to The Proact
A host of big-name sporting personalities are heading to The Proact Stadium before Christmas to attend fundraising events.
Kevin Keegan will speak at a sporting dinner and there will also be appearances from former Manchester United stars Lee Sharpe and Norman Whiteside and ex-England cricketer Matthew Hoggard.
Keegan, who was twice named European Footballer of the Year, will attend Chesterfield Junior Blues FC’s dinner on December 1. Sharpe’s appearance, which is in aid of Espial FC, will take place on November 25. Whilst Whiteside visits the Proact on October 28 in a dinner to raise funds for New Tupton Ivanhoe FC.
Hoggard is the special guest at the Mayor of Chesterfield’s sporting dinner on Thursday, October 13, which will raise funds for the Macmillan Cancer Centre at Chesterfield Royal Hospital and Accessible Derbyshire.
Peter Clarke, Events and Hospitality Manager at The Proact, said:
“We believe our banqueting facilities are the best in the area and that is backed up by the excellent feedback we receive on a regular basis from people who attend functions at the stadium.
“We host various fundraising events for charities and grassroots football clubs, which result in many thousands of pounds being raised and repeat bookings being received.”
