Burnley FC in the Community and East Lancashire Hospitals NHS Trust (which includes Burnley General Teaching Hospital) are teaming up to raise vital funds to support the work of both charities by today launching the Claret for Blue challenge.
The Claret for Blue challenge tasks Burnley FC fans with raising £20,534 – the average Turf Moor attendance last season – which will be split 50/50 between the two organisations.
To take part in the challenge, supporters simply need to don their Burnley shirt and walk, run, cycle, hop or skip 10 km, donating £1 for every 1 km they complete (£10 in total). And prizes are up for grabs for the fastest time, the most amount raised, unique traveller and junior achievement!
The challenge is a flexible one – experienced runners can run the 10km all in one go, the distance can be broken down into smaller chunks over time or, alternatively, why not run it as a team with the distance split between a group i.e four people run 2.5km each?
All we ask is that you screenshot your distance, take a selfie, tag in @burnleyfc_com and link your JustGiving page to the Claret for Blue campaign or make a donation directly to it.
You can then fly your Burnley shirt in your window next to your NHS rainbows to showcase your achievement!
The deadline for you to complete your Claret for Blue challenge is set for Sunday 28th June.
Let’s go!
All funds raised will be split between Burnley FC in the Community (charity number: 1155856) and East Lancashire Hospitals Trust (charity number 1050478).
We ask all those who would like to take part in the Claret for Blue challenge to please read the following guidelines and disclaimers carefully:
