BFBS’s Message to the Service community is:
We are running our 2024 charity fundraising challenge for the BFBS Big Salute which supports military charities. We are excited to invite you to participate in our upcoming Mile-a-thon to virtually run, walk, cycle, row, swim or something unique to you, for as many or as few miles you can contribute to help us collectively reach 7,635 miles - the distance from BFBS Brunei to BFBS Canada.
From Thursday 26th September to Thursday 3rd October, we’re asking serving personnel, veterans, school children, friends, families and listeners of BFBS to get involved and clock up the miles for a great cause.
How You Can Help:
1. Join Us: Throughout the week, whether you’re walking the dog, in the gym, going for a swim or attending a fitness class, log your miles to help us reach our target.
2. Fundraise: Help us fundraise for the BFBS Big Salute by spreading the word and collecting donations from friends, family, and colleagues. Plus you can host your own fundraising event with cake sales, talent shows, coffee mornings, etc.
3. Donate: Even if you can’t participate, your donation will make a significant impact.
How to get involved:
To register your miles, download resources such as posters, bunting, certificates for school children, sponsorship forms, mileage forms, or make a donation, please visit bfbs.com/bigsalute
What is the BFBS Big Salute:
The BFBS Big Salute is our annual fundraising campaign which donates grants to military charities who support armed forces communities. Since 2007 we have raised more than £1.5million and helped 54 charities to provide equipment, training and welfare to their beneficiaries. Every single penny that is raised by our fantastic fundraisers or donated by you is distributed to help hundreds of veterans, forces families and serving personnel.
The BFBS Mile-a-thon will be a fantastic opportunity to bring the community together and make a difference. We hope we can count on your efforts for this challenge and thank you in advance for your time and participation.
