Ladies Day Sue Ryder Donation
Bedford Blues are delighted to have raised a Ladies Day donation of £15,000 for Sue Ryder St John’s Hospice in Moggerhanger following the festivities against Doncaster Knights last month.
An entertaining battle on the hallowed turf of Goldington Road was matched by another cracking afternoon off it, raising money for a very deserved and worthwhile charitable cause, close to a lot of people’s hearts across Bedfordshire.
Our loyal #BluesFamily raised the staggering amount via raffles, auctions and collections at the Club’s 16th Ladies Day event. The majority came from the ever-popular post-match jersey auction with MC Sam Roberts, thank you to everyone who supported.
Sue Ryder volunteers and Bedford supporters managed to make Goldington Road a sea of pink and blue for the day to raise another staggering amount!
Blues’ Chief Operating Officer, Gareth Alred said: “The generosity of our #BluesFamily never ceases to amaze and we’re humbled to be able to donate another incredible amount to Sue Ryder St John’s Hospice this year.
“It’s been another great year working with Sue Ryder, a charity right at the heart of the Bedfordshire community. To be able to help them continue their specialist care for those who require it most in our local area and even wider afield is extremely fulfilling. Thank you once again to everyone who came in support of Ladies Day.”
Senior Community Fundraiser at Sue Ryder St John's Hospice, Nick Burr said: "We are truly grateful for the ongoing backing of the Bedford Blues and the dedicated Blues supporters. The staggering amount raised at the 2024 Ladies Day will help us to ensure that we can continue to be there for families at the most difficult times of their lives because no one should face death or grief alone."
