Bloomberg Square Mile Relay Announces Charity Partner
The Bloomberg Square Mile Relay returns to the streets of London on Thursday 21st September and will be supporting Create as its official charity.
This year, Bloomberg Square Mile Relay will partner with Create – a charity that explores the ways artists can contribute to the lives of people in cities. As the official charity partner for the London race, Create will be presented with a donation on race night and Bloomberg Square Mile Relay participants and their friends and families are invited to go ‘The Extra Mile’ and join Create for a volunteer opportunity in East London on Saturday 7th October.
Volunteers will be a part of a capital redevelopment project to transform a Grade II listed former train station and surrounding lands into a new community resource, including space to host artist-led community development programmes. Bloomberg has supported Create since 2014 and ‘The Extra Mile’ projects build upon Bloomberg’s service-focused commitment to the cities where employees live and work.
120 teams from businesses across the financial services sectors will be competing to be named the fastest company in The City, taking on the new one-mile route around the Square Mile.
Since its inception in 2007, the Bloomberg Square Mile Relay has grown to include 10 international cities with San Francisco, Sao Paulo and Tokyo joining the roster in 2017.
Bloomberg is the headline sponsor of the Bloomberg Square Mile Relay, now entering its 11th year and taking place in London, Shanghai, Singapore, Hong Kong, Dubai, Sydney, New York, Sao Paulo, San Francisco and Tokyo.
