The BCF is hosting its first ever charity bike ride for the UK coatings industry to raise money for four charities chosen by BCF members.
The event "BCF’s Charity Cycle: Ride Warwickshire" is taking place on Friday, June 7, 2019, and will start at the Chesford Grange in Kenilworth, and extend through the countryside and villages of Warwickshire.
The BCF hopes to raise £5,000 each for Bowel Cancer UK, Keech Hospice Care, Lymphoma Action and The Christy Hospital Manchester for Ovarian Cancer Research.
The ride is open to BCF members and non-members and participants are invited to get involved as individuals, or as teams, choosing a 25, 50 or 100km route. Riders are expected to raise £250 with fundraising done via GoFundMe, which will transfer donations directly to the charity.
“The BCF is proud to be organizing this event as it benefits four wonderful causes that have affected our members deeply," BCF Chief Executive Tom Bowtell said. "The money raised will go a long way to supporting numerous families across the UK in the same way the charities have helped our members."
