We were proud to sponsor the Milton Keynes Cricket Festival, held on 29th August at Campbell Park. The event, which was organised by Bucks Cricket, showcased the very best of local cricket and community spirit, while celebrating rising talent and interest in the sport.
The day kicked off with the Junior Festival, including All Stars, Dynamos and U11s softball matches. In the afternoon, the Women’s 100 and Men’s 100 matches took place. As part of our sponsorship, the company showcased one of its latest models, the Toyota C-HR, alongside a range of branded promotional materials. Players from the MK Men's Representative team wore t-shirts featuring our branding.
Since Toyota UK was announced as the new Principal Partner of the England and Wales Cricket Board earlier this year, we have been investing heavily in grassroots cricket. This support is helping local clubs thrive by providing assistance with fundraising via the Toyota Good for Cricket Prize Draw, as well as supporting with ground and facility improvements, sponsorship opportunities and a range of other initiatives that help to strengthen the game at a community level.
Here’s what Rich Hudson, Chief Executive at Bucks Cricket CIO had to say:
“It was fantastic to have Steven Eagell Toyota’s support for the Milton Keynes Cricket Festival with a diverse programme of cricket to showcase cricket in the City. Cricket has a unique power to bring communities together and we look forward to bringing the MK Cricket Festival back even bigger and better next summer.”
The Milton Keynes Cricket Festival is an excellent initiative that celebrates cricket, talent and community. We hope all who attended and took part had a fantastic day!
