Bristol Bears Community Foundation Development Manager Craig Capel said: “The money raised by our friends in the business world will support the valuable work we do across communities in the South West.

“We all very much enjoyed the chance to meet and work with new and old friends of the Foundation with each event being played in the right spirit.

“Special mention must go to Paramount, in particular Sullivan Gardiner, who helped to recruit teams and rustle up some amazing raffle prizes that contributed even further to the amount raised.”

Sulli Gardner, Paramount Business Development Manager, said: “To all the teams, thank you so much for your support over the past few months and what a way to conclude the series at Ashton Gate Stadium.

“Together we’ve not only had a load of fun but also raised a huge amount of money for Bristol Bears Community Foundation. Over £15,000 will go directly into delivering programmes that will help change the lives of people across the region.”

Finally, thank you to all the awesome local businesses that have supported the event by providing an array of high-calibre raffle prizes.
