Santa Run 2011

Enter online http://www.runnersworld.co.uk/events/viewevent.asp?sp=&v=2&EN=64713&ms=

Disability Snowsport UK’s most successful fundraising event is back for 2011!
The event takes place on Saturday 3rd December 2011, in Battersea Park. Your entry fee includes your Santa suit, so there’s no excuse for not dressing up!

Please sign up to run, whether alone or as a team with friends, family or work-mates, and encourage everyone you know to get involved. Send an email round at work letting people know about this fun event, or ask Disability Snowsport UK for posters to put up in your staff room or at your gym, tell people via your facebook page or pass this newsletter around to people that you know!

Everyone will be welcome on the day: as well as runners we need volunteers to help out and of course crowds to cheer the runners on. If you’re interested, please sign up to take part, encourage everyone to join you, and start raising sponsorship money!

You can sign up to run online at Runners World, or get in touch for a hard copy entry form. For more info email the fundraising team at: fundraising@disabilitysnowsport.org.uk or call 0161 749 2290.

This year, we need your support more than ever. We would like to ask our runners to really pull out all the stops, and raise at least £25 in sponsorship. If every person who takes part in the event raises this, our charity will receive £62,000 in funding, allowing us to make a significant difference in the lives of people with disabilities. £25 is such a small amount for each individual to raise, and yet could make such a tremendous difference to our chairty and those who use our services.

Please help us to raise funds for adaptive snowsports for people with disabilities by taking part and raising as much sponsorship as you can. This year, the highest fundraiser will win a crate of wine kindly provided by Barefoot wine. All other fundraisers raising over £250 each will win a fantastic goody bag.

You can set up you own online fundraising page for free at www.justgiving.com/disabilitysnowsportuk. This allows people to sponsor you quickly and easily online – funds come direct to Disability Snowsport, so you don’t need to worry about collecting money from friends and family after the event! It is very quick and simple to set up a page, and you can then email the link to everyone you know.

We would like to smash our records this year for the amount of money raised for our charity – we would really appreciate your help, as would the people we work with!
Hope to see you on the day…!
