With a huge demand for its charitable dental clinics, the charity needs more support than ever before, and these events are a fun-filled way to raise funds that will help the most vulnerable people access life-changing care.
The 2024 events programme starts with the charity’s Golf Day on June 7, at the beautiful yet challenging Boundary Lakes Golf Course at The Utilita Bowl, Southampton. Sponsored by Dentsply Sirona, the event includes breakfast on arrival, a shotgun start across 18 holes using the Stableford scoring system, competition holes, buffet curry lunch, prizegiving and a charity raffle. Entry is £500 for a team of four.
It's first-ever track day will take place at Thruxton Racing Circuit on September 13, 2024. Participants will get behind the wheel in a selection of sports and racing cars on the UK’s fastest circuit, located near Andover. Once racers have got their adrenaline pumping in vehicles including a Porsche Cayman, Ford Puma ST, Formula Renault single-seater and high-speed passenger lap in a BMW M2, they will spend the afternoon racing in 60mph race karts! Lunch, afternoon tea and refreshments are required, and all budding F1 drivers will need a full UK driving licence. Places are priced at £400 each.
After the success of recent years, Dentaid’s charity skydive is back at Old Sarum Airfield in Salisbury on Sunday, September 15. Fearless fundraisers will jump tandem from either 10,000ft or 15,000ft and are asked to raise a minimum of £400 to take part.
Ultra fundraisers can go the distance by signing up to the Ultra Challenge Series. Events take place across the country, and this is a fantastic way to set your own goals and take part in some of the most challenging hikes in beautiful parts of Britain.
Pete Burch, Dentaid’s fundraising manager, said, “2024 is set to be our busiest year to date, which means we have had to give our supporters more choice than ever in ways to support Dentaid The Dental Charity.
“After the return and success of our golf day last year, I am thrilled to see it back for 2024. And alongside that, we have introduced a series of new and exciting fundraising events which I’m sure will be popular too. I am particularly excited for our first track day experience. Every penny raised helps us to provide life-changing dental care for the most socially excluded people including those experiencing homelessness, abuse, addiction and poverty and we’re very grateful to everyone who takes part. “
