As equipes do ano passado se aventuraram na água para competir em uma corrida de barcos de dragão pelo Hospice Anual Rainbows for Children and Young People Charity Day, mas este ano o tema foi o sempre popular programa de TV "É um nocaute", o que está em que os concorrentes ainda estavam com mais de £ 17k. Cada equipe pagou uma taxa de inscrição de £ 150 e teve que se comprometer a aumentar um patrocínio mínimo de £ 700. Rainbows se uniu a eventos de empena para trazer sua própria opinião sobre o evento que ocorreu na quinta-feira, 4 de julho, no 3M Sports Field em Loughborough. Operations Director, Rachel Biddles said, “We’ve had the pleasure of working with and getting to know the lovely team at Rainbows and the incredible work they do. Children with a short life to live have a lot of living to do and Rainbows makes every minute special so we were delighted to get involved.”
In total, the charity day raised over £17K as 20 teams from organisations from across the East Midlands competed against each other. Every team paid a registration fee of £150 and had to commit to raising a minimum sponsorship of £700.
Like a school sports day for adults, ‘It’s a Knockout’ was a hilarious hit TV show. Rainbows teamed up with Gable Events to bring their own take on the event which took place on Thursday 4th July on the 3M sports field in Loughborough.
All teams taking part committed to fund raise for Rainbows and workplace design consultants and interior fit-out specialists Blueprint Interiors, based in Ashby de la Zouch, was one of the teams to take part, raising £790.
Commenting, Operations Director, Rachel Biddles said, “We’ve had the pleasure of working with and getting to know the lovely team at Rainbows and the incredible work they do. Children with a short life to live have a lot of living to do and Rainbows makes every minute special so we were delighted to get involved.”
Teams of between 6-10 people took part rotating through 12 different games, from a banana dash and dinghy derby, to a basketball shootout and (Claro!) Uma corrida fantasiada de frango. A equipe com mais pontos e vencedor geral foi o pessoal da Solutions Ltd, o 2º lugar foi DCI-ATRFOM e o terceiro lugar foi para a construção de Geda. Teve um dia fantástico e somos realmente gratos a todos que participaram de nos ajudar a arrecadar dinheiro para apoiar nossa caridade. ”
Commenting, Kate Golding, Head of Organisational Giving for Rainbows added, “Combining a mix of costumes, inflatables and water, the games tested teamwork, strength, stamina and balance – plus, stomach muscles got a great workout too from all the laughing! Everyone had a fantastic day and we’re really grateful to everyone who took part for helping us raise money to support our charity.”
Como o East Midlands Somente Hospice for Children and Young, Rainbows abriu em 1994 para fornecer um lugar onde crianças limitadas e suas famílias podem encontrar cuidados e apoio. Se sua empresa quiser participar do evento de 2020, envie um email -[email protected]
