WHAT THE PROCEEDS WILL SUPPORT:
Blues Foundation were extremely proud to launch some key flagship activation throughout since 2021 including Tackle LIFE, ABILITY Blues and Blues INSPIRE projects. These will play a huge part of our output again in 2025 but needs funding support.
And there is so much more resource Blues Foundation want to tap into and utilise – and the proceeds from the Race Night will help go towards this, alongside some other fundraising opportunities that are yet to be announced.
Speaking ahead of the Race Night, Blues Foundation Manager, Tom Harwood said: “These nights, and there will be more opportunity later this year with more events, are really important and do play a massive part in allowing us to continue our work across Bedfordshire.”
