Bestway has named Barnardo’s as its chosen charity to benefit from the funds raised through its annual Charity Race Day, now in its 27th year in 2020.
Attendees who support the event include many of Bestway Wholesale’s industry suppliers across Retail, Catering and Pet; Bestway employees; and members of the benefiting charity.
The Bestway Charity Race Day has supported over 20 charities since it started, including Barnardo’s; it was previously the chosen charity in 2007. To date the event has raised £2.6m thanks largely to the generosity of all the supplier guests who support the day through ticket purchases, the charity auction, tombola and other fundraising activities.
Bestway boss Zameer Choudrey said: “We are delighted to support the work of Barnardo’s this year in recognition of the charity’s immensely valuable work.”
Barnardo’s Chief Executive Javed Khan added: “The generosity of the attendees will help ensure that we can continue to support children and young people, carers and parents, whether they are dealing with mental health issues, recovering from sexual abuse or struggling to live independently after leaving the care system.”
The Charity Race Day will be held on Friday 19 June 2020. Tickets go on sale at the end of March. Bestway is currently on the hunt for tombola and auction prizes.
