#RedForRuth
for families facing grief
England Men’s Test Series v India at Lord’s Cricket Ground
Turn #RedforRuth on Friday, 11 July
Unite in Red
Supporting families facing one of life’s toughest tests.
The Ruth Strauss Foundation is proud to announce the seventh edition of our flagship fundraising day, #RedforRuth, taking place on Friday, 11 July, 2025.
This year, we return to the iconic Lord’s Cricket Ground for a powerful day of unity, remembrance, and support during the 3rd Men’s Test between England and India. Join us as we fill the stands with red – players, fans, and broadcasters standing together to honour families facing one of life’s toughest challenges: the loss of a parent.
#RedforRuth Match Funding
We’re thrilled to announce that, for the second year running, the Freddie Green & Family Charitable Trust will match donations made on #RedforRuth Day, up to £75,000. This means your donation will be doubled until we reach £75,000 – helping us make twice the impact for families facing the incurable cancer diagnosis. A huge thank you to the Trust for their incredible support.
