Champion Accountants is this year celebrating its 40th Birthday, with a year-long fundraising effort to mark the occasion.

The “40 for 40 Fundraiser” will involve team members from all five Champion offices coming together in an attempt to raise £40,000 throughout the year for a selection of nominated charities. And in an attempt to reach their ambitious target, Champion will be staging one main company-wide event, the “Champion Century Cycle Challenge”.

Taking place on Sunday 19th June, the Century Cycle Challenge will see Champion team members, clients, contacts, friends and family get on their bikes in the name of charity.

Setting off from Chester, the riders will be taken on a punishing 100 mile journey round each of the five Champion offices, visiting Manchester and Preston before ending their journey in Blackpool… all in one day!

Group Managing Partner GED COSGROVE comments, “The Champion Century Cycle Challenge is a chance for the five Champion offices to come together as a team and achieve something great. Despite the cold and dark winter nights, many team members are underway with their training already – myself included!”

“This is the first event of this kind Champion has ever attempted and we are all committed to making it a success. I think it will be a memorable event in Champion’s history.”

More information will be added to the “40 for 40 Fundraiser” and “Champion Century Cycle Challenge” pages soon….watch this space!
