A Night at the Races in aid of Elliot's Footprint - 30 September 2026

Squire Patton Boggs Leeds Office is raising money for Elliot's Footprint
We're a charity that helps families through child bereavement. We offer help and guidance whilst campaigning and fundraising for improved bereavement services. Elliot's Footprint is working hard to take the loneliness and frustration in the aftermath of losing a child.

Story

Tickets are now available to purchase at a cost £25 per person, or £30 if you would like to enter as a jockey for the chance to win a prize. All funds will be going to Elliot’s Footprint. Your entry price includes stake money for all the races, a sumptuous buffet, and two drinks tokens.

We’re sure many of you think as the next Frankie Dettori or AP McCoy and then realised they are too tall, can’t ride a horse and don’t fancy being on a never-ending diet. Well fear not, for one night only this is your opportunity to live out your dream. For an extra £5 you can be a jockey in one of the races. We are looking for up to 40 of our guests to be jockeys. The lucky volunteers will each be allocated a horse in one of the races (in a random draw) and will then have the opportunity to cheer their steed home and claim a prize. This won’t require any additional involvement on the night, other than the potential glory of winning a race and a prize without the need for any physical activity, other than cheering your horse on. Go on you know you want to!

Please make a payment of £30 via our JustGiving page if you would like to buy your ticket and enter as a jockey.

We are also looking for several corporate sponsors for the races on the evening. Your firm’s name will be highlighted with the opportunity to name your race (perhaps it could be the [***] Simply the Best Stakes!!) and present the winning jockey with their prize. The sponsorship package is just £30, and again all proceeds will go the charity. Contact Chris Paschali if you are interested.

We would love to see you there, so please register before the limited spaces run out.
