Hospice issues call to businesses to sign up for Dragon Boat Race
A children's hospice is urging businesses to sign up for its next competitive team fundraising event.
Forget Me Not Children's Hospice is asking businesses to enter teams into its Dragon Boat Race, which will be held in September.
This follows the hospice's previous fundraiser, the Race Across West Yorkshire, which saw 20 teams of two from local businesses race around seven secret West Yorkshire checkpoints, taking on challenges and trying to navigate without their phones or their wallets - and raising more than £40,000.
Georgia Lane, Forget Me Not's fundraising manager, said: "Our Dragon Boat Race is always a big hit.
"Many of the businesses who attend tell us it's a highlight of the year for their staff, a great way to spend time together as a team while raising money for Forget Me Not, a charity that supports local children and families.
"Because our amazing Race Across West Yorkshire filled up really quickly, some businesses missed the chance to get involved.
"So the message for the Dragon Boat Race is book your team's place now so you don't, quite literally, miss the boat!"
The Dragon Boat Race will take place at Pugneys Country Park.
