In a stunning act of generosity that has captured the hearts of football fans nationwide, Hollywood superstar and Wrexham AFC co-owner Ryan Reynolds has made a colossal £10,000 donation to the club's community trust. The gesture comes just days after the team's gut-wrenching defeat in the National League play-off final.
The massive contribution was revealed by manager Phil Parkinson, who shared the incredible news with his crestfallen squad in the dressing room immediately after their 1-0 loss to Bromley at the LV Bet Stadium Meadow Park. The donation is set to provide a monumental boost to the Wrexham AFC Community Trust, which runs vital programmes across North Wales.
Lifting Spirits After Devastating Defeat
The timing of the donation highlights Reynolds' deep connection to the club and its community, far beyond the pitch. Rather than focusing on the on-field disappointment, the Deadpool star immediately moved to support the wider work of the club, demonstrating a commitment that transcends results.
This isn't the first time Reynolds and his fellow co-owner Rob McElhenney have dipped into their own pockets for the cause. Their unwavering financial and emotional support continues to solidify their legendary status among the Red Dragons' faithful, proving their project is about building a legacy, not just winning games.
More Than a Football Club
The Wrexham AFC Community Trust is a cornerstone of the local area, using the power of sport and the club's brand to make a tangible difference. Reynolds' donation will directly fund initiatives focused on health, education, and social inclusion, reinforcing the idea that Wrexham AFC is truly a community asset.
This story of philanthropy following sporting heartbreak is a powerful testament to the unique and heartfelt project underway at the Racecourse Ground. While promotion remains the ultimate goal, the actions of its Hollywood owners continue to show that the club's soul is its priority.
