East Anglia’s Children’s Hospices (EACH) is being backed by two celebrity chefs as it marks Shrove Tuesday with a novel pancake run fundraiser.
Flip It for EACH will see teams of four racing against each other, with prizes for the fastest individual and team pancake flippers up for grabs. Keeping an eye on the action will be Richard Bainbridge and Richard Hughes.
The event will take place at The Forum in Norwich between 9.30am and noon on Tuesday, 28 February – and teams can sign up now!
Colin Lang, EACH nook appeal Development Manager, said: “We can’t wait to host our inaugural pancake run and are looking very much forward to what promises to be a tasty celebration of Shrove Tuesday.
“Pancakes will be flying through the air as our teams make their way around the course and we encourage everyone to come along and get involved.”
Pancakes will be made by trainee chefs at City College Norwich, with some extras available for hungry competitors and spectators!
Entrance is £50 per team, a fee which includes a chef hat and apron for each member. Each participant will also receive a goody bag.
All funds raised will benefit either EACH’s hospice in Quidenham, which provides care for children and young people with life-threatening conditions and support for their families across Norfolk, or the nook appeal, its £10 million campaign to transform children’s palliative care services across the county, including the building of a new hospice in Framingham Earl.
Colin added: “The proceeds will be used to make a real difference at EACH in Norfolk, whether supporting our short-break care, end-of-life care and bereavement support services or our appeal for a new purpose-built hospice.”
EACH would like to thank its event sponsors Naked Marketing, City College Norwich, Anglia Culinary Suppliers, QD Norwich and Builders Equipment.
