Everyone at BBF loves rugby. As a business, we get the importance of teamwork, and on a personal level, we know what it means to be part of a herd. The Bristol Bisons RFC are trailblazing inclusivity in rugby and showcasing that everyone has a space and place on and off the pitch. Their energy, enthusiasm and voice for access to sport without prejudice is incredible. And that’s not even mentioning the fact that they are clearly acing the game and always bring the energy to an event! That's why we jumped at the chance to support them with £8,000 towards their training costs over two years. BFF is donating £100k over the next year to help raise up Bristol communities. For the best part, we gift cost-price beer and help our community sell this to generate 3-5 times its value. But we know that beer is not always appropriate and sometimes, groups need hard cash, in real time, to achieve their ambitions. That's why we choose 3 or 4 groups each year and support them with a cash donation; one of them is the Bristol Bisons. Want to find out if the Bisons are your herd? Join them for a trial session on Monday 1st July as part of the Bristol Pride fortnight. Sign up via bisonsrfc.co.uk or if you've missed this window, check them out on socials: instagram.com/bisonsrfc and facebook.com/bisonsrfc Don't forget, every BBF beer you buy gives back to projects and communities like the Bristol Bisons. And as they say themselves, we are #StrongerAsAHerd DRINK WITH PURPOSE #BristolBeerFactory #brewedtogive #standindependent #drinkwithpurpose #bristolcharity #bristol

The Leadership Advisory Council with Make-A-Wish Michigan is still looking for sponsors for our 3rd Annual Golf Outing at Thornapple Point on August 5th! If you're not familiar with Make-A-Wish Michigan (MAWM). MAWM makes wishes come true for children with a critical illness across the state of Michigan. A few fun facts: 💸 Every dollar raised in Michigan stays in Michigan. ⏳ A child is diagnosed with a critical illness every 20 minutes. 🏥 An estimated 800+ children will be diagnosed with a critical illness this year. 💫 While doctors provide the medicine, Make-A-Wish Michigan supplies the magic that provides a positive life-changing experience. 👨⚕️ Most notably, 75% of surveyed doctors said a wish could improve a child’s medical outcomes. ⭐ While each wish is truly unique, most fall into one of five categories: I wish to be, I wish to go, I wish to have, I wish to meet, and I wish to give. Join me in helping raise funds for this critical mission - sponsorships start at $250! https://lnkd.in/gD4ART4F

Great initiative by World Federation of the Sporting Goods Industry (WFSGI) While major brands invest big dollars in sponsorship, it is easily forgotten that the Olympics are not just a stage for the mega star athletes to perform but a universal arena for all 10'000+ athletes worldwide to come and compete. Equal access to quality sporting goods to perform is often neglected. Many #NOC National Olympic Committees struggle to meet the demands of their athletes to compete in the most optimal conditions. 2% of Olympians will benefit from this initiative. This doesn't seem a lot but it means that 500 athletes have been training and managed to qualify for Paris2024 without benefiting from top-quality equipment... Well done and great display of Olympic spirit and effort! International Olympic Committee – IOC #Paris2024 #sportinggoods #ioc #sportforall

I'm just home from Babble Frost 2024, and we were joined by Rachel Sharp MCIOF (Cert), fundraising manager for My Name'5 Doddie, with Babble now a Corporate Partner. Rachel enlightened us as we learned some truly harrowing stats, and watched a video filmed with Doddie about a month or so before he passed - I could feel the tears forming, and I know most of the room was the same. I heard the mutters of "bloody hell", "brutal", and the long expell of air as people processed what we'd read, heard, and watched...here's some highlights. 1 in 300 people will be handed the death sentence that is Motor Neuron Disease. Most of those people will have waited around a year for diagnosis. The average life expectancy once diagnosed is a mere 12-18 months. With many dying within just 3 months when the disease is particularly aggressive. 5000 people in the UK right now are living with MND. This might seem low based on a 1 in 300 figure. That's because of how quickly it will kill a person. It is a literal death sentence...right now. There has not been a new drug to help treat MND in nearly 40yrs. That drug *might* extend life expectancy by around 3 months. Treatment itself has not substantially changed in 20yrs. It is almost guarantee that you personally know someone who has been killed by MND. It IS an ABSOLUTE guarantee that you know someone who knows someone killed by MND (for my connections...you know me, and it killed a childhood neighbour of mine). I also know at least three other victims at just 1 degree of separation). Again...literal death sentence. As a Corporate Partner to My Name'5 Doddie, Babble have committed to raising £250,000! So I will be doing something later this year to help raise funds - I've always fancied a charity boxing match...if you know how to make that happen and can help me -let me know. However, right now, my brother is taking part in Doddie Aid right - and is trying to raise £500. Can you help? Can you share? Doddie's final words in his video to us... "MND is not uncurable. It's just underfunded" https://lnkd.in/eRePrhTz #myname5doddie #doddieaid #mnd #babble #babblefrost

How important is sport and physical activity to the development of our children? But have you donated to your local sports club lately? The Australian Sports Foundation provides you the the ability to make tax deductible donations to sport clubs. As a parent, football coach, player, and club administrator I know it takes good adults to help young people become the best they can be. It takes a village, right? We all know physical activity is integral to our health and wellbeing. We also know the many challenges to starting and keeping children and teenagers engaged in sport. Whether the young person is playing social, or organised grassroots sport, or at an elite level in National Rugby League AFL - Australian Football League Cricket Australia Rugby Australia National Basketball League (NBL) Netball Australia Tennis Australia Athletics Australia Football Australia or any other sport, our kids need our support. And done right, sport plays a hugely positive role in developing our kids - physically, mentally, and socially. In good times and bad. Good adults understand the need to mentor the next generation. If you’re still reading this, consider a tax deductible donation to your local or favourite sports club. If you’re a Manly Warringah Sea Eagles fan, come and play your part in helping the next generation soar. Donate now. Queries to foundation@seaeagles.com.au  #ManlySeaEagles #NextGen #Donate

We are pleased to share with you the recording of a highly enlightening and inspiring conversation between Oliver Percovich of Skateistan and Atalanti Moquette that took place on 21 September 2023. The conversation covers the story behind how Skateistan started in Afghanistan and how Skateistan has scaled to operate in Cambodia, South Africa and Jordan. We strongly recommend anyone wishing to start an NGO or scale their current operations to watch this recording. #nonprofits #empoweringwomen #empoweringgirls #empoweringcommunities #womanempowerment #philanthropy #democratizingphilanthropy #redefiningphilanthropy #letsredefinephilanthropy

Would you turn down $800 million to be a golf player, to then only play golf anyway? Well The Big Tiger did (that Tiger in the Woods). I say Tiger you should have taken the money and donated most of it to the poor, or maybe helped some of those struggling youth clubs out there (not only to the ones operating and located in the woods). It would have been an honour to them, to say the least. #poems #future #timetravel #past #education #philosophy #mentalhealth #happiness #business #businessinsider #vanguard #blackrock #lifeadvice #motivationalquotes #life #lifestyle #poetrycommunity #lifequotes #philosophy #teachers #learning #litrature #teachingandlearning #children #kids #love #purpose #teaching #teachertraining #poem #poetrycommunity #poetry #poetrylovers #peoplefirst #litrature #teaching #teachers #poem #economy #economics #SaveLivesProject #YouAreNotAlone #parliament #parliamentary #government #governmentrelations #governmentaffairs #politicians #wellness #wellbeing
