BoyleSports Presents ‘D20 for £20’ Charity Challenge at World Grand Prix Darts

This year’s World Grand Prix Darts Tournament is bringing more than just high scores – it’s bringing hope. BoyleSports, the official sponsor of the event, has launched the ‘D20 for £20’ Charity Challenge, where every double 20 hit during the tournament will result in a £20 donation. Running from 7-13 October at Leicester’s Mattioli Arena, this exciting initiative blends the thrill of darts with the power of giving.

How the ‘D20 for £20’ Challenge Works

The unique double-start format of the World Grand Prix, where players must begin and finish each leg with a double, makes it the perfect event for this initiative. Every time a player hits a double 20 (aka ‘double top’), BoyleSports will donate £20 to charity.

At the end of the tournament, the player who scores the most double 20s will have the privilege of choosing the charity that receives the total accumulated donation. It’s not just about winning on the board, it’s about making a real-world impact!

BoyleSports and PDC on the Charity Challenge

Sharon McHugh, Head of PR and Sponsorship for BoyleSports, expressed her excitement about the initiative: “We’re thrilled to introduce the ‘D20 for £20’ Charity Challenge at this year’s BoyleSports World Grand Prix. The double-start format makes this event unique, and it’s the perfect platform to bring attention to charitable causes. We can’t wait to see the impact these double 20s will have on the players’ chosen charities.”

PDC Chief Executive Matt Porter echoed this enthusiasm: “BoyleSports has always been a great supporter of charitable initiatives during the World Grand Prix, and this year’s challenge is a fantastic way for players to help causes close to their hearts while competing at the highest level.”

Players and Their Chosen Charities

Some players have already named their charities of choice:

  1. Defending champion Luke Humphries has selected Prostate Cancer UK as his charity;
  2. Darts legend Michael van Gerwen, a six-time champion, has chosen the Make-A-Wish Foundation.

With the top players taking part and aiming for their best performance, the donations are set to pour in (spectators and bettors at top betting sites are also invited to join in), making this tournament one for the history books.

Darts for a Cause – Every Double Counts

This year’s World Grand Prix isn’t just about who walks away with the trophy – it’s about who makes a difference. Every double 20 hit during the tournament means a donation to charity, so keep your eyes on the action as the players battle it out for more than just glory. With BoyleSports driving the initiative, this is a win for everyone involved.
