The Firs Challengers and other patrons of the Firs have spent the
last six years actively involved in raising monies for local charities.
The Firs, located in Castlecroft, Wolverhampton, now holds a tradition
for turning August Bank Holiday Monday into ‘Charity Day At
The Firs’. Over these bank holidays monies in excess of £92,000,
collected over the years, has been handed over to charities supporting
people less fortunate than ourselves. Supported charities have included;
Guide Dogs for the Blind, The Happy Society, Air Ambulance, MS Centre,
Penn Hospital, Children with Leukaemia, Children with Diabetes,
New Cross Hospital, Dr Bernardo’s, Bridgnorth Lions, the local
division of the RSNC and of course, Compton Hospice. Now that is
some impressive list!
It is not surprising with this track record that past masters of
the Bridgnorth Lions Raft Regatta should team up this year and form
the ‘Firs Challengers’ to take on the charity challenge
of a lifetime. But please remember without the generous donations,
sponsorship and support from local businesses and residents none
of this would be possible. |
