Corporate Challenge 10K
Contenu
WEDNESDAY 15TH SEPTEMBER, 2010
(Run start: 16.00)
On Wednesday 15th September 2010, Action Against Hunger will launch its inaugural Corporate Challenge 10K in the beautiful surrounds of Victoria Park, in the heart of East London, and within easy reach of the City.
The event offers a fantastic team building opportunity, with employees and employers all working together to achieve a common goal - helping us raise vital funds for severely malnourished children and their families across the globe.
- Employees will raise £10 per kilometre completed (target fundraise of £100 per participant), by seeking sponsorship from friends, family and colleagues.
- Employers will be encouraged to show support for their staff by match giving the amount raised by staff members, thereby doubling the amount of funds raised by each staff member.
With a focus on raising money for a worthwhile cause, the run is more about team building for businesses in a fun, but challenging way.
