“I’m thrilled to be launching Hospitality Kicks this summer. Team registrations, donations and sponsorships have already started pouring in so I encourage you to move fast if you want to be involved as not only will it be a fun day, the funding we’ll raise for Only A Pavement Away, the Licensed Trade Charity and the Tim Bacon Foundation is vital.
