Appeal for sponsorship money to be handed in for Midnight Walk
It is three months since our biggest fundraising event of 2012, the Midnight Walk, and we would like to thank everyone who has sent in their sponsorship money.
Nearly half of the 150,000 women who took part in the walk on Saturday 19th May have paid their sponsorship money. But we are urging others to send it in by the end of August so we can start making it work by supporting Hospice services.
Event Fundraiser Emily Sullivan said: “We are very grateful to everyone who raised sponsorship and to those who have sent their money in. We would like as many people as possible to send in the money they raised as soon as possible as every penny of the £150,000 estimated total will help us to provide our services free of charge to the local community.
“The Hospice costs £8.7million a year to run with nearly three quarters of that figure coming from the local community and through fundraising events such as the Midnight Walk.”
You can either send your sponsor form with a cheque for the full amount to Midnight Walk, 565 Foxhall Road, Ipswich, IP3 8LX, or if you would prefer to give cash, please take it to the Hospice at your earliest convenience. Please do not send cash in the post.
If you set up a Just Giving page you don’t need to worry as all sponsorship money donated this way will come straight to the Hospice.
If you have any questions about sending in your sponsorship money, please contact midnightwalk@stelizabethhospice.org.uk or call 01473 707043
