Good clean fundraising

Participants at the Bubble Rush

Hundreds took part in bubble fun for children’s hospice in April, Blackpool was awash with vibrant colours as hundreds of people took part in the second Bubble Rush in aid of Brian House Children’s Hospice.

The event on Saturday 14th April saw around 1,500 people power through four bubble stations blasting frothy bubbles from high-powered cannons along a 5km route on Lawsons Showground. Organisers say the event raised £50,000 for the charity on Low Moor Road, Bispham, which supports children with life-limiting conditions and their families through support and respite care.

Head of Fundraising Linzi Young said ‘We are so pleased that the sun chose to shine over our event after what has been a rather wet few weeks. It certainly helped many hundreds of supporters who have had a fantastic time getting in amongst the bubbles all for Brian House. Everyone looked so happy as they went through the bubble stations and the whole event was just lots of fun. We are thrilled at how much has already been raised, and money is still coming in through sponsorship. We’re so grateful to every single person who took part and helped to raise this incredible sum; they’ve helped us to make a difference to 80 families on the Fylde Coast who use our service. A huge thank you as well to everyone who volunteered their time to help at this really fantastic event.’

Anyone who has raised more than £100 in sponsorship will be in with a chance of winning an Annual Gold Family Pass to the Sandcastle Waterpark worth up to £400. The prize draw took place on May 31st, with the winner yet to be picked at the time of our going to publication.

The next event being organised by the fundraising team at Trinity Hospice is the  fourth annual ‘Colour Splash Paint Run’ on the beach from Starr Gate to St Annes on Sunday 10th June. People can sign up at www.trinityhospice.co.uk/events/blackpoolcoloursplash.
