BTCC, a cryptocurrency exchange founded in 2011, sponsored the Red Eagle Foundation's season-closing charity golf event on October 22, 2026, at London Golf Club in London. The event raised £34,750 for the foundation.
England football legend Ashley Cole served as the headline guest. Following 24 teams' rounds of golf, Cole participated in a Q&A session with Red Eagle Foundation Charity Ambassador Scott Minto, a former Chelsea player, discussing Cole's football career and experiences.
Attendees participated in Beat the Pro challenges with professional golfers Enzo Avery and Lucy Robson. Comedian Aaron James entertained guests and led a live auction during the event.
Partnership Details
BTCC has partnered with the Red Eagle Foundation since 2024.

Combined, the Foundation's 2026 golf events had raised £88,000 by July.
Alex Hung, Head of Operations at BTCC, stated: "Red Eagle Foundation's charity golf days bring people together for a cause that matters, and we are proud to support them. Closing the season with Ashley Cole was a real highlight. We are committed to supporting the Foundation for the long term."
The Red Eagle Foundation supports disabled, disadvantaged, and terminally ill children in England. BTCC indicated plans to continue the partnership in 2027.
