Help Property Race Day raise £250k for children

Property Race Day’s Foundation 500 needs your support to help meet its goal of raising £250,000. The initiative has been set up to replace the annual Ascot event, which was cancelled this year due to Covid-19.

The project is seeking 500 individual contributions of £500 to ensure that the charities that would have benefited from this year’s Property Race Day donations will not lose out on vital funding for established projects.

The money raised through Foundation 500 will aid five children’s charities: LandAid, WellChild, Trusts for African Schools, Dusty Yak and Chernobyl Children in Need. There will also be an additional contribution made to the NHS via the Covid-19 Relief Fund.

To make a donation, contact Tessa Champion of JSC Comms on 0780 581 0146 or tessa@jsccomms.co.uk.
