Donny Rovers Saver cheque presentation

Leeds Building Society was delighted to present Doncaster Rovers with a cheque for £8,300 at their home match with Sheffield Wednesday on 14th February at the Keepmoat Stadium.

The £8,300 cheque relates to 1 per cent of the total balances in the Donny Rovers Saver account for 2008.

Since the launch of the Donny Rovers Saver in July 2004 over £17,000 has been donated to Doncaster Rovers Football Club. There are currently 192 accounts open with total balances of £1,104,788.

Michael Ward, Press and P.R. Officer said, "The Donny Rovers Saver is the savings account that offers Doncaster Rovers fans great rates and access to their money while supporting their club. The more that fans save, the more Doncaster Rovers receives and with tiered interest rates, the higher the interest customers will receive on their savings."

Leeds Building Society Chief Executive Ian Ward said "I was delighted to attend the recent match between Doncaster and Sheffield Wednesday and present the 2008 affinity payment to Doncaster Rovers Managing Director Stuart Highfield. The facilities at the Keepmoat Stadium are superb and the performance of the team certainly matched the surroundings.

"I am passionate about supporting grassroots football in our heartland's and this £8,300 donation will go towards helping youth development at the club."

Doncaster Rovers Managing Director Stuart Highfield said "We were delighted to welcome representatives from Leeds Building Society to the Keepmoat stadium for our recent home match with Sheffield Wednesday. The Donny Rovers saver is a great account and I would encourage any fans who have not already opened an account to do so as soon as possible.

"The account is now in its fifth season and continues to go from strength to strength. We were delighted to reach £1,000,000 in balances on the account during 2008, which was a great milestone for ourselves and Leeds Building Society."

Cheryl Thompson, Leeds Building Society Doncaster Branch Manager said, "Myself and Shaun Lockwood, Doncaster Rovers Marketing Manager, are looking forward to developing this account even more with new initiatives for junior supporters. It makes an ideal present for the birth of a youngster into the family, a Christening present, a birthday present for the children or grandchildren, or a present for weddings and anniversaries."
