On September 21, Dragons RFC will face off against Ospreys in a match that goes beyond the usual celebration. This game is special because, for the second year, we’re teaming up with Pledgeball to invite our incredible fans to join us in protecting the places we play and love.
Last season, we were awarded the Welsh Sports’ Association Sustainability Award! Thanks to your support, we are currently leaders in driving work to protect what we love.
Get involved and WIN a signed Dragons shirt!
By participating in Pledgeball, not only do you contribute to a more sustainable future, but you also stand a chance to WIN a signed Dragons shirt! Here’s how you can be a part of this important project.
What is a Pledgeball fixture?
Pledgeball is more than just a movement; it’s a platform that enables us to make a real difference. A Pledgeball fixture is an opportunity for us to come together and commit to reducing carbon emissions through simple, impactful actions. Together, our impact is huge – not just in reducing emissions but in showing business, clubs and governing bodies that we want them to take action.
How to participate:
Getting involved is easy! Pledge to take specific actions that help reduce our collective carbon footprint. You have until midnight on match day to make your pledge. Carrying out each pledge contributes to a better place for us all to live and enters you into a prize draw to win a signed Dragons shirt.
The Impact of Your Actions:
The potential for Dragons fans to drive positive change is enormous. Did you know:
- If every fan at a packed Rodney Parade used public transport instead of driving, we could save the same amount of emissions as taking nearly 1,734 cars off the road!
- If every fan bought groceries only from in-country suppliers, it would be equivalent to removing 470 cars off the road!
These choices reduce emissions; they also create a ripple effect, inspiring friends, family, and communities to make more sustainable decisions.
Katie Cross, CEO of Pledgeball, said: “Fans have the power to make a huge impact. It’s easy to feel like our individual actions don’t matter, but when we come together, the effects are immense and far-reaching. Dragons have shown incredible commitment to this cause, and I’m thrilled to see what we can achieve together this season."
