Sapphire, from Copley Junior School in Doncaster, recently won our competition bagging a pair of her own shoes designed especially for her by Kickers, a Kickers goodie bag, two pairs of Kickers, a PlayStation 4 and £200 cash for her school.

Most children wouldn’t be able to wait to begin playing on their new PlayStation 4, but rather than rush inside to play with her prize, Sapphire has made the selfless decision to help her local Children’s Ward.

The generous donation from Sapphire was gratefully received by staff on the ward.

“Donations are something that we really do value. We’ve had a Wii go missing from the ward recently so Sapphire’s donation has come just at the right time. We are extremely grateful of such acts of generosity from young stars like Sapphire. The Play and Activity Team rely on donations so her kindness is very much appreciated.”

Sapphire’s parents are also extremely proud of the kind gesture their daughter has made.

“The Wynsors design competition has really brought Sapphire out of herself, she’s a lot more confident than she was. We’re extremely proud of Sapphire. I think it’s an amazing thing for an eight year old to want to do. She’s very much like her mum, always thinking of others before herself. It’s a lovely quality to have.”

Sapphire’s father, Ian Wroe.

Sapphire’s love of design was the main reason for her entering the competition and felt she is already lucky enough to have everything she needs. She was more concerned about the young children on the ward than having the prize for herself.

“I thought it would be nice to give the PlayStation 4 to the Children’s Ward at the DRI. I don’t really need to play on video games because I already have an iPad. The children in hospital are not very well so hopefully the PlayStation will make them feel a little bit happier.”

“I entered the competition because I love Kickers and I wanted a new pair. I like glitter, leopard print and silver so I put all of those things into my design. I draw a lot, even when I’m not in school. When my mum and Dad ask me what I want to be when I grow up I always say a designer. If Kickers or Wynsors really liked my designs I’d go and work for them when I grow up and finish school. I’m really happy I’ve been able to share my prize with others. I’m already looking out for other Wynsors competitions to enter!”

Selfless Sapphire, Aged 8!

Well done Sapphire, you were obviously a very deserving winner!

Sapphire’s Kickers shoe design is currently in production and will be available soon for her to wear. Watch this space for more information.
