Pirelli Stadium Parade April 12th 2025

Sat, Apr 12th 2025 at 2:00 pm - 4:00 pm

Thanks to all the Local firms supporting Burton Rotary Club


Throughout our existence Burton Rotary Club has been supported by local businesses.  For over 30 years many sponsored us to carry sandwich boards through the town centre, but a change of format in 2018 saw the march replaced by a parade and collection at Pirelli Stadium, the home of Burton Albion. 

Pirelli parade

Our annual Pirelli Parade was held on Saturday 12th April 2025 at the Pirelli Stadium when Burton Albion played Huddersfield. The names of all the sponsors were displayed on boards and marched around the pitch at half-time. In addition, sponsors names were included in the match programme and read out at half-time. Ben Robinson offered a hospitality package with match tickets in a draw from our sponsors and this was won by St Modwens Church.

Our sponsors donated a total of £5650. A list of our sponsors is below.

A bucket collection was also held and this raised £460. Gift aid will add another £115 to this. After expenses are taken into account the total raised for the Charity fund is £5785.

Burton on Trent Rotary Club thanks all at Burton Albion who provided assistance, our sponsors, and finally all Board carriers and bucket collectors.
