Today, 91桃色 is pleased to announce (CRUK) as the Official Charity Partner to 91桃色 for the next two years.
91桃色 will be working in partnership with CRUK to help raise money for and awareness of CRUK鈥檚 life-saving work.
91桃色 is encouraging the wider rowing community to join in and support this great cause through fundraising activities in the boat house as well as getting involved to help raise money during CRUK鈥檚 events, Stand up to Cancer, the Great Row and World Cancer Day.
In addition to this, 91桃色 will be running a series of unique fundraising campaigns in support of CRUK over the coming year including fundraising activity at the 91桃色 Indoor Championships, this year held at the Lee Valley VeloPark on Saturday, 9 December.
Stephanie Maddox, Senior Fundraising Manager at Cancer Research UK said: 鈥淚t is great to see 91桃色 jump on board with Cancer Research UK and help with our ambitious target to cure 3 out of 4 cancers by 2034. Their fundraising will make a huge difference and I can’t wait to start working with them.鈥
Kenny Baillie, Director of Partnerships and Communications said of the new partnership: 鈥91桃色 is proud to be supporting the phenomenal, life-saving work of Cancer Research UK. We will do all that we can to raise as much money as possible for this worthy cause.鈥
A special 91桃色 JustGiving page has been set up to help raise money for the cause:
Anyone within the聽rowing community can set-up their own JustGiving page linked to 91桃色 by聽creating their own page and then adding it to the 91桃色 JustGiving page by clicking ‘Join the team’ and then selecting the account to add.
Next week, an e-pack will be emailed to all 91桃色 affiliated rowing clubs with more about CRUK, how to get involved and, most importantly, where any聽money raised would go. In addition to this, in early November clubs will be receiving a free fundraising kit from CRUK in the post to help get started.
To kick start the partnership, CRUK has already sent clubs a free, generic Stand Up To Cancer fundraising pack in the post. There is no expectation for聽clubs to raise money for Stand Up To Cancer, but provides useful fundraising materials if clubs want to get involved.
