BHSF, the Midlands-based supplier of health insurance and
employee benefits, is to sponsor the popular Marie Curie
Birmingham Brain Game for three years starting in 2011.
Brain Games are held in various parts of the country but the one
in Birmingham is consistently the most successful. The event
has run in the city for nine years, being sponsored firstly by DLA
Piper LLP and, for the past five years by Wesleyan Assurance
Society. BHSF' s sponsorship starts next year.
BHSF's chief executive Peter Maskell said: "We are looking
forward to being associated with this high-profile event which
raises enormous sums for the Marie Curie Hospice in Solihull,
providing expert care and the best possible quality of life,
totally free, for people with cancer and other illnesses."
The 2010 Brain Game, held at the ICC, raised £124,000 for
the hospice.
Sue White, Marie Curie's Birmingham Brain Game co-ordinator,
said: "We are delighted that BHSF has agreed to take on the
sponsorship role. This is always a fun night and we are
looking forward to the 2011 Brain Game which will be held on 6
October, once again at the International Convention Centre.
"It will be the 10th anniversary of the Birmingham Brain Game
and we will be celebrating in style."
