The COVID-19 pandemic meant that we sadly had to cancel Roses 2020, moving the event online. We want to use our platform to raise awareness of Charities who are facing significant financial issues as a result of COVID-19.

York Sport Union have chosen to fundraise for Age UK and Cancer Research UK. However, our page will allow our clubs to set up their own fundraisers to donate to other charities should they wish. We encourage clubs to research charities that will be hard hit by the pandemic and consider fundraising for them.

We will be fundraising before, during, and after the weekend to raise as much as possible. This is a great opportunity for us all to make a positive difference to Charities that do fantastic work supporting the Nation.

Maddi, York Sport Union Present will be aiming to complete the Three Peaks in three days on her staircase...

Ben Nevis - 4,413 ft

Mt. Snowdon - 3,560 ft

Scafell PIke - 3,209 ft

That's a total of 799 trips up the stairs!

We welcome donations of any size before, during and after the weekend, and look forward to sharing Virtual Roses 2020 with you on the York Sport Union Facebook page.
