Join us for a fundraising Family Fun Day on 1st June

The team at Cedarbarn is hosting a Family Fun Day with inflatables and birds of prey to raise money for Karl Avison who is raising money for Macmillan by competing in the Ride of Their Lives as part of the Macmillan Charity Raceday at York Racecourse on June 15th.

The Mumbler Family Fun Day starts at 10 am on Saturday, 1st June and activities include an inflatable Tractor Fun Run, a bouncy castle with blow-up slide and face painting. The Whitby Falconers will also be bringing birds of prey and reptiles and Barnaby the Friendly Herdwick and his young shepherds will make a guest appearance.

In addition, the Cedarbarn train, The James Cook, will be running on the miniature railway with guest miniature steam trains, and Pickering Guides will be running pre-loved book and nearly new toy stalls. Entry is free, but there is a charge for activities.

“We’re incredibly grateful to Victory Lodge No. 4042 for sponsoring the event and are looking forward to a fun-filled day as the Race Day grows ever closer. We’ve got another £3,000 to raise to reach our fundraising target of £25,000, so it would be great if people could come along and support one of our last fundraisers,” said Karl.

The Mumbler Family Fun Day is one of a series of recent fundraising events that have included a Pop up Pilates that raised £620, a Fun Dog Show that raised £510 and Muck and Magic AD tours that raised £2700. The final two events will be a second Pop up Pilates session on 9^th June and a Yorkshire Gin Festival sponsored by Hatfields Land Rover on 28^th June. People can also donate directly to Karl’s Just Giving Account: https://bit.ly/KarlAvisonROTL.

York Racecourse and Macmillan Cancer Support continue to work in partnership to present the biggest charity race day in the UK and raise vital funds for people living with cancer. Collectively, this year’s team of amateur jockeys have raised over £137,000 to date.
