Godolphin Employees Beat Winning Line Challenge Goal

The Godolphin Winning Line Challenge ended on Friday, June 26, with Godolphin employees worldwide running, walking, swimming, cycling or riding as many miles as they could to raise money for COVID-19 charities. The target was to cover the number of miles connecting Godolphin locations across the world, a total of 28,300 miles starting and finishing in Dubai. The final mileage for teams in Australia, Dubai, Ireland, Japan, the UK and the US was a total of 67,165 miles. Every staff member who signed up to be part of the challenge donated, with several thousand pounds now due to be distributed to each region's chosen charity.

“While the primary aim of the Godolphin Winning Line Challenge was to raise money for COVID-19 charities in each of our regions, coming together as a team with a single aim was also very much at the heart of this,” said Godolphin UK and Dubai Managing Director Hugh Anderson. “I never doubted that the team would rise to the challenge, but to surpass our goal by so far is absolutely fantastic and I am very proud of everyone who donated and took part.”

In the UK, staff raised money for the Newmarket Festival COVID-19 Fund, while the Irish funds will be divided between Friends of St Brigid's Hospice (Kildare), St Francis Hospice (Blanchardstown) and South Tipperary Hospice Movement.
