What are Bed Races?
Join us for the 7th Annual Phoenixville Bed Races!
Taking place on Saturday, November 2nd, 2024!
Grab your friends, family, or colleagues and Fall Into BED this November. This super fun, family-friendly event will raise funds and awareness for all the great work accomplished by two Phoenixville organizations that provide shelter for the homeless. Participants will race beds (yes - beds on wheels) for the title of 'Fastest Bed'!
Join us on November 2nd to support those who work tirelessly to make sure that no one is without a bed to sleep in.
What to Expect
A fast-paced, fun and crazy day!
Race teams will dress in crazy costumes and race beds on wheels down Third Avenue in Reeves Park to raise funds for our two nonprofits. Beds are eligible for the three top prizes of Fastest Bed, Best Team Theme, and Most Funds Raised.
The day will include the races, kids activities, music, great food, and community!
Event Schedule
How It Works
This exciting event is BACK and promises to engage the community in a fun and adventurous way. This event is a collaboration between two local nonprofit organizations which work tirelessly to make sure that no one goes without a bed to sleep in at night.
We have three goals:
1. To have fun.2. To raise awareness about organizations who work to help our neighbors in need.
3. To raise funds for these organizations so that they can continue to do this important work.
By registering to race, you will not only have a chance to show off your creativity and racing skills, you will have a chance to provide direct support to programs that aid homeless or at-risk neighbors in our community.
BUILD (or BORROW) & DECORATE a racing bed on wheels and adorn your team with matching costumes!
(We reward creativity!)
RAISE funds for the event by peer fundraising through givebutter.com!
RACE to raise funds and awarness for our organization - while competing for the title of FASTEST BED!
WE Bring the Bed... YOU Bring the Spirit!
We heard you loud and clear! You want to participate, but need help with the build.
So... WE HAVE YOU COVERED!
This year you can BUILD YOUR OWN or BORROW OURS!
We now provide the racing bed to teams who can't build one on their own!
What does that mean?
Your team will:
1. Build a bed or borrow one of ours;
2. Create a team theme and costume;
3. Create a banner and/or other removable decorations to adorn the bed while racing that match your theme;
No need to build, store, or transport the racing beds! Woo Hoo!
Simply DECORATE (yourselves), RAISE (funds to support our work), and RACE (to glory and for the title!)...
Want to build your own?
No problem! You still can. Just be sure to follow our Bed Building Guidelines.
