The raffle is now taking place and will be drawn on Wednesday 10th August at 12pm via The Prince of Wales Hospice's Facebook page. Tickets are just £20 and all proceeds will be going to a wonderful, local cause which you can read more about below.

The winner will get an executive hospitality box for 10 people, including a buffet, a full fridge of alcoholic and soft drinks, and the best seats in the house to watch the big game! All thanks to Anthony Higgins Transport, who fans will recognize from our kits and as proud player sponsors of Liam Watts and Jason Qareqare.

Based in Pontefract, The Prince of Wales Hospice provides incredible care for people with life-limiting illnesses in our local disctrict.

All the care provided is completely free of charge and based on need. However, this does mean that The Prince of Wales Hospice requires around £11,000 per day to continue providing their care, totalling over £4 million each year.

For over 15 years, the Fords have held a strong relationship with the local charity, raising over £13,000 in the last 24 months alone.

Last year Anthony Higgins Transport helped the Hospice raise £7,000 by donating their executive box as a prize for their Golf Day, and the local firm has gone even further by donating their box twice this season!

We at the Tigers thank them for their ongoing support of The Prince of Wales Hospice and the club itself.

In September, the Tigers' Commercial Department will be taking on The Great North Run to raise funds for our official charity club partner.
