Krazy Races, in collaboration with Lincoln BIG, was thrilled to announce
Lincoln City Foundation as its official headline charity partner for 2024 at its
official event launch at the White Horse this week.
During the launch event (held on Thursday 18th April), several of the 40 soapbox
teams were in attendance, along with local businesses and other key
stakeholders. Organisers outlined details of the event including the very special
charity announcement.
The nationally acclaimed soapbox derby event will make its Lincoln debut
on Sunday, 15th September, marking the finale of the Krazy Races season
that will entertain thousands in towns and cities across the UK while raising
substantial funds for a variety of charities. Krazy Races was announced in
December, and all 40 team spaces were snapped up in just 7 days! Teams
comprise locals, businesses, and educational facilities who will construct,
design, and race quirky soapboxes in front of an anticipated audience of
up to 20,000 individuals.
Danny Scoffin, Head of Brand & Strategic Development at Krazy Races,
expressed his enthusiasm for the partnership, stating, "We are delighted to
announce Lincoln City Foundation as our 2024 Headline Charity for Lincoln.
The core ethos of Krazy Races is deeply rooted in our charity partnerships.
In 2023, our events collectively raised over £100,000 for charity, setting a
new record. Our aim is to surpass this achievement in 2024, and we are
confident that this goal is well within reach with our partnership with this
outstanding charity.
Alexandra Bavin, Director of Operations at Lincoln City Foundation shared,
“We are incredibly excited to be a part of this special event here in Lincoln
and the first one of its kind in the city too. It’s such an honour to be chosen
as the charity partner, as all the funds raised will allow us to continue to
develop our outreach across Lincolnshire and specifically on our
programmes for children and young adults. Across the Club and
Foundation, we are looking forward to sharing what will be a super fun day
with all the participants and visitors.”
Lee Roberts, Lincoln BIG Head of Operations “We are delighted that the
Lincoln City Foundation are the official charity partner for the first Krazy
Races here in Lincoln. The event is sure to be fun filled day for all involved
and we are hoping that the event can generate awareness and funding for
the foundation to enable them to continue to make a difference to many in
the communities across the city. We can’t wait for 15th September to come
around already!”
Although spaces for Lincoln Krazy Races are closed, organisers are on the
lookout for local businesses to support the event, with numerous
advertisement opportunities still available.
