LONDON, April 14 — The all-electric Formula E motor racing series is partnering with the UN children’s fund Unicef to support a global coronavirus appeal, it announced today. Formula E chief executive Jamie Reigle said the series, currently on hold due to the Covid-19 pandemic, was making an immediate donation.
It will also continue the relationship once racing resumes to raise funds and awareness, using the sport’s marketing and social media platforms to tell stories around health and education. “Formula E was founded with a purpose of reducing global climate change by accelerating the adoption of electric vehicles; a mission which aims to provide a safer, cleaner life for future generations,” said Reigle.The series said some 1.5 billion children were missing out on education due to schools closing as a result of the pandemic, while families risked losing livelihoods and falling into poverty.
