iPRO Joins Forces with Netball Carder Cup 2023 to Honour the Legacy of Emma Carder

iPRO has announced its partnership with the inaugural Carder Cup launching in July 2023. The collaboration seeks to pay tribute to the remarkable life of former Harpenden Netball Club member, Emma Carder, while providing hydration support to the participating teams throughout the tournament.

This collaboration between iPRO and the Carder Cup 2023 is not only a testament to the brand's dedication to supporting athletes but also a heartfelt tribute to Emma Carder's contributions to the sport. By providing hydration support, as well as giveaways such as water bottles, iPRO aims to help athletes stay focused, sustain their endurance, and enhance their recovery.

“We are overwhelmed by the support of iPRO for the Carder Cup and for the support they will provide to teams and personnel at the tournament,” says Roz Horslen, Carder Cup organiser. “Emma gave so much to the netball community, not just within Harpenden but across Hertfordshire and the wider East region and her loss has impacted the netball world massively. We know how much she would have loved the tournament and be touched by the support from both iPRO and the wider netball family.”

iPRO will play a vital role in ensuring that the participating netballers have access to healthy hydration throughout the day. By providing top-quality, delicious drinks, iPRO Hydrate aims to optimise the players on-court performance, whilst supporting their overall well-being.

Sophie Christy, Global Commercial Director of iPRO, expressed her enthusiasm about the partnership, stating, "We are honoured to be the official hydration partner of the Carder Cup 2023 and to celebrate the life of Emma Carder. Emma's passion and impact on the netball community were truly inspiring, and it is our privilege to contribute to this tournament in her memory.”

The organisers of the Netball Carder Cup 2023 have also expressed their gratitude for the partnership with iPRO. They believe that the collaboration will not only provide essential hydration support to the players but also serve as a poignant reminder of Emma Carder's positive influence on the netball community.

The Carder Cup will take place on Saturday 1st July at Loreto College in St. Albans. If you would like to donate, please visit the Harpenden Netball Carder Cup for Cancer Research Just Giving Page via this link.
