The island’s much-loved fundraising event, Our Race for Life, will now be known as the BWCI Race for Life, following a new three-year sponsorship agreement between BWCI and event founder, Dani Barnett.
The sponsorship marks an exciting new chapter for the event, which has brought together thousands of islanders since its inception and raised over £100,000 for Cancer Research UK – Guernsey Branch.
Founder Dani Barnett said: “I am absolutely thrilled and truly grateful for BWCI’s generosity and commitment. Their support enables us to take the event to the next level, reaching even more people and raising vital funds for cancer research. This new partnership ensures the future of Our Race for Life in Guernsey and Sark, and I can’t wait to see where we can go together.”
Mike Freer, Senior Manager Business Development, BWCI, added: “We are delighted to partner with Our Race for Life for the next three years. Supporting the local community and such a meaningful cause aligns with our values, and we’re proud to play our part in helping this event continue to inspire and bring people together.”
The committee also acknowledged the ongoing support of Bright Electrical, who have been behind the event since its inception in 2022 and whose contribution has been invaluable in helping Our Race for Life grow year after year.
