Through the years, ZOOM Around the Sound has continued to grow and has since become a key fundraising opportunity to support the educational programmes of the BZS.
This year the event raised close to $15,000 and these funds will support the BZS the School’s Programme, designed to enhance the school curriculum especially in areas such as science. Last year these programmes served over 7,000 students across the island.
Joanne Chisnall, volunteer coordinator for BZS, said: “This year marked 25 years of hosting ZOOM Around the Sound and it continues to be a very popular event with our friends, members and neighbours, with many participating year after year.
“We are extremely thankful our sponsors Ben and Jerry’s and Butterfield and Vallis, who have brought so much to the event, particularly Butterfield and Vallis, who have supported this event since its inception.”
