An Evening in the Sky guests

#TeamBSA

O

n September 8th Team BSA are taking part in a Charity Skydive to raise money for Bluebell Wood Children’s Hospice. Six of us will be jumping out of a plane at 15,000 feet to support this incredible cause.

A handful of our auction prizes

Bluebell Wood Hospice cares for children and young adults, along with their families, whose lives are sadly just too short. When we heard about the great work they do, we decided to brand ourselves the ‘Blue Stream Super Six’ and became committed to reaching our goal of raising £2,000 for the charity. To reach this target, we organised a bake sale, a lucky dip, a car boot sale and an amazing charity auction evening, bringing our total fundraising efforts to an incredible £2,695.90 at the time of writing this article. Matthew Sheridan, Bluebell Wood Children's Hospice Corporate Fundraiser attended the event and we hope he enjoyed it as much as the rest of us. We were blown away by people's generosity and want to thank everyone that got involved - either by donating prizes or giving their time, money and support. All that's left now to do is the jump itself - so wish us luck (gulp)! If you have any suggestions for future fundraising ideas, please feel free to get in touch via email or telephone.
