Fundraising for The Three Bears Foundation

The Three Bears Foundation is a charity dedicated to supporting individuals and families affected by pancreatic cancer.

Founding trustee Mark Burn shared his story and the charity’s mission at the evening dinner.

An incredible £16,000 was raised on the night for The Three Bears Foundation.

Angus Shaw, Managing Director, Brigantia commented on the event: “Our Annual Partner Conference continues to grow, and this year has set a new benchmark.

“The energy, turnout and sessions across the event were fantastic.

To see the event grow to three times its size just a few years ago is a real testament to the strength of the Brigantia community.”

I’m especially proud that we came together in support of The Three Bears Foundation, raising an incredible amount to support the amazing work of the charity.

“The past two days have been a resounding success, and we’ve received a lot of positive feedback.”
