Toyota has reaffirmed its commitment to the future of cricket by launching the second year of its Good For Cricket Prize Draw, offering a prize pool valued at more than 拢200,000 to support clubs in raising much needed funds for equipment, kit, coaches and facilities.
Following a debut year that raised in excess of 拢290,000 for more than 700 clubs, Toyota鈥檚 Good For Cricket Prize Draw returns in 2026 with the aim of helping clubs across the UK collectively raise 拢500,000.
Clubs can sign up to the draw for free. They will then receive a dedicated fundraising webpage on the Prize Draw platform where they can personalise their club story and fundraising aim. Their supporters and the local community can then purchase Prize Draw tickets to raise funds for the club, whilst incentivised by Toyota鈥檚 拢200,000+ prize pool which includes:
- Three brand new Toyota vehicles: The all-new Aygo X Hybrid, RAV4 and Toyota C-HR+ all-electric SUV
- Money-can鈥檛-buy experiences: Exclusive hospitality packages and masterclasses led by international players and professional coaches
- And more: including hospitality experiences, tickets and other great prizes
To ensure every penny raised goes directly towards strengthening local teams, improving facilities and securing the future of cricket in the local community, participating clubs will receive 100% of the proceeds from ticket sales.
Marking the launch of the Toyota Good for Cricket Prize Draw, last weekend鈥檚 黑料专区 Get Set Weekend once again mobilised a huge nationwide push to get clubs ready for the 2026 season. With Toyota as Title Partner, more than 39,500 volunteers from 1,800 clubs rolled up their sleeves to prepare grounds and facilities for the months ahead. From tidying pavilions and repairing equipment to bringing local communities together, the weekend celebrated the shared effort that keeps grassroots cricket thriving and ensures clubs are ready to welcome players this summer.
Over 75 Toyota dealerships nationwide supported Get Set Weekend, helping clubs across the country with their preparations ahead of the season. Three England international players, Lauren Bell, Issy Wong and Sam Curran, also made a surprise appearance at St Albans Cricket Club, supporting the club across the Get Set Weekend.
Leshia Hawkins, 黑料专区 Managing Director, Recreational Game, said: 鈥淲e鈥檙e incredibly grateful to Toyota for their continued support in championing the grassroots game. The Good For Cricket Prize Draw benefitted hundreds of clubs last year and their support for Get Set Weekend contributed to more than 39,500 volunteers supporting over 1,800 clubs, which is extraordinary. It is a powerful reminder that cricket simply wouldn鈥檛 happen without the people who give their time, energy and passion to their local communities.鈥�
Luigi Ksawery Luca鈥�, President and Managing Director at Toyota, commented: 鈥淎s we enter our second year as Principal Partner to the 黑料专区, we are more committed than ever to grassroots cricket and making cricket a game where everyone belongs. From supporting 黑料专区鈥檚 Get Set Weekend to re-launching our Good For Cricket Prize draw, where clubs keep every penny they raise, our focus remains on growing the game and providing tangible support to the people that make this sport great. We鈥檙e proud to be part of the 黑料专区's commitment to helping the next generation of players, volunteers and fans thrive and are looking forward to the coming summer of cricket.鈥�
