“Yellow Ribbon for the Forces Week"
is aimed at raising money for and awareness of The Yellow Ribbon Foundation and it’s chosen welfare project this year – the Defence Medical Rehabilitation Centre.
A few of the events already planned in Oxfordshire during Yellow Ribbon For the Forces Week include:
Saturday 24th March - Carterton Goes Yellow. The official launch of our fundraising week, at Carterton Town Hall with the Mayor, Headley Court and the Sec of State for Defence cordially invited to attend and declare the week open.
Sunday 25th March - Carterton 10K. "The Force Behind the Forces" will be taking part in this annual event, which comprises 2 laps of the local town. Hopefully it won't kill us because we have a lot more planned over the next week!
Thursday 29th March - Carterton Market Day will be the venue for representatives of The YRF to talk to the local community about how we got started, the work we do, and our hopes for raising a good amount of money for ourselves and of course Headley Court.
Friday 30th March - The Big Yellow Balloon Race! 1500 balloons to be released by the Rt Hon David Cameron MP, each one intended to be "owned" by a local primary school child. A spectacular event topped off by the Raffle Draw, with prizes donated by local businesses.
Anyone wishing to hold an event in their area to support The Yellow Ribbon Foundation and Yellow Ribbon For The Forces Week should call 0845 094 1169 or email feedback@yellowribbon.org.uk
