Devon Air Ambulance is partnering with Exeter Racecourse! Discover how you can help raise life-saving funds at upcoming events

Devon Air Ambulance (DAA) has been handed a platform to raise awareness and funds with a new partnership.

It has been named as the charity partner of Exeter Racecourse. The collaboration will include a variety of fundraising activities and events at the racecourse throughout the racing season, providing racegoers with opportunities to contribute to the charity’s mission.

Tracy Owen, the charity’s corporate partnership manager, said: “With the support of Exeter Racecourse, we look forward to engaging in many fundraising activities and events, including our own DAA Race Day on Sunday, November 24, which will help raise essential funds and awareness for our operations.

“Corporate partnerships are vital for charities, businesses and the communities they serve. Partnering with us offers a unique opportunity to make a tangible difference in the community, supporting a service that provides critical, life-saving care.

”The partnership started with school children enjoying a morning at the racecourse, where they were treated to a meet and greet with champion jockey Harry Cobden, the chance to take a look inside the DAA critical care car while quizzing some of the team, and Gold Cup-winning horse Native River paraded for them.
