Supporting our local sporting heroes
We are proud to announce that Investing For Tomorrow are the main sponsors for the Jacob Fairbank testimonial dinner on Saturday 11th July 2026 at Cedar Court Ainley Top.
We don’t just invest in tomorrow, we also invest in our local community – and we’ve always seen supporting our local sporting teams as part of that.
The already sold-out dinner is part of Jacob’s 12 month testimonial by the Rugby Football League for the 2026 season. The 35 year old is entering his 16th season in the professional game, with well over 300 appearances under his belt – including 278 to date for hometown club Halifax. And now the long-serving forward has had his efforts recognised by the governing body with the award of a testimonial year.
Jacob signed his permanent contract at The Shay midway through the 2015 season and never looked back. Over a decade on, he has a Wembley winners medal of his own from the 2023 1895 Cup Final triumph, and has become a popular figure both on the terraces and with his teammates.
A great night is being planned with a 3 course dinner, Q&A, Raffle & Auction and more – all hosted by local event host Pete Emmett.
You can follow Jacob’s testimonial year through the dedicated Facebook page here.
