Co-Chairs of Active Bradford, James Mason and Charles Dacres, reflected on this significant milestone, stating: "Reaching our 10th year is a testament to the incredible sporting talent and community spirit that exists in Bradford. Over the past decade, we've celebrated hundreds of inspiring individuals and teams who have made remarkable contributions to sport and physical activity in our district. We're delighted that some fantastic local businesses and organisations have already confirmed their sponsorship, including Bradford City and Bradford Bulls. However, we still need more local businesses, organisations, and sporting clubs to get involved. This anniversary event is a true celebration of our city's sporting spirit, and we need everyone's support to make it our best year yet."

Other organisations supporting the event this year include Bradford College, Bradford Ice Arena, Salus Padel, Sport England, Strike Padel, Yorkshire Sport Foundation, and West Riding County FA.
