On 15 May, the team at Golden Bear will be taking on a challenge like no other in support of Alder Hey Children’s Charity - a cause that meant a great deal to the late, great, John Hales. We’re stepping onto the iconic course at Aintree Racecourse for a light-hearted (and slightly chaotic) Mascot Grand National which is sponsored by Golden Bear in John’s memory. Think big costumes, plenty of lols, a few hurdles along the way… and a lot of determination to make it to the finish line. What makes this even more special is the setting. Aintree is where John’s legendary horse, Neptune Collonges, won the Grand National in 2012. For our team at Golden Bear – another of his great passions, bringing joy to children through toys – it feels incredibly fitting to be at Aintree, honouring his memory in such a meaningful and fun way. This event is about more than just fun though. It’s about coming together to support an incredible charity that changes the lives of children and families every single day. It’s also a chance to celebrate John’s legacy in a way that reflects his passion, energy and generosity. Whether you’re part of the racing world, connected through business, or simply want to support a brilliant cause, every donation will make a real difference. So, if you can, please support us. Here is our Just Giving Page: https://www.justgiving.com/page/golden-bear-5?utm_medium=FR&utm_source=CL Every contribution, big or small, helps this amazing charity continue to provide life-saving equipment and facilities that make a real difference every day; while also ensuring every child experiences that special “Alder Hey magic”, the little extras that help make a hospital stay as positive as it can be. Thank you for being part of this! #alderhey #aintree #grandnational #charity
