Fundraising

Register here for the Great Yorkshire Run 2010

The Great Yorkshire Run provided us with a platform to raise funds in 2009 to support the additional services we provide.  We also succeeded in increasing our profile in the City and generating many more supporters.

We are proud to confirm that £10,000 was raised from the 67 people who ran for Kickstart and would like to say a special thank you to everyone who took part. 

We are planning to take part in the race again this year which will be held in Sheffield City Centre on Sunday 5 September and are once again looking for runners to join the Kickstart Running Team 2010. 

Our programme of events and activities to support the Kickstart Runners will begin in June with a “Runners Meet and Welcome” at Rother Valley Country Park, followed by training runs in July and August.

On Race day, we will set up a baggage drop and collection on the first floor of Kickstart offices at High Court Chambers and provide light snacks and drinks after the race for the runners to get together and chat about their experiences.

Following that, on Saturday 11 September, we will be holding a celebration dinner for us all to celebrate and recognise the achievements of our runners, current and past. The evening will be held at Sheffield United FC and include dinner and dancing, a raffle and auction. 

Click here if you wish to receive further information about the dinner.

 

Here is the 2010 Race Entry form and we do hope that you decide to join the Kickstart Running Team this year.  All we ask is that you raise a minimum of £100 per runner in sponsorship money and complete the pledge form to return with the entry form to our fundraising team at Kickstart. 

In return for your support, we will offer you the following benefits:

• Free official running number
• Kickstart T-shirt to wear on the day
• Access to the Runners Meet and Welcome event and training runs
• Sense of achievement and increased self confidence
• Excellent networking with other businesses and individuals
• A perfect way to get fit over the summer months!

Raising sponsorship need not be a difficult task.  It can be done by setting up a Just Giving site using www.justgiving.com/kcp or by using the 2010 sponsorship form but get in contact if you need any help.
