Get red-nosed and raring to go this winter to support St Clare Hospice!
St Clare have teamed up with Santa’s favourite reindeer to bring you a fun-filled fundraising event this festive season!
We’re counting on your team of reindeer recruits to get active and participate in our Rudolph Run, all in the spirit of supporting local families in your community across West Essex and the East Hertfordshire borders this Christmas.
It’s so easy to take part….you set the date (any time between Wednesday 1st November and Friday 22nd December), distance and location and we’ll provide you with everything you need to support your fundraising.
We can provide you with:
- A pair of reindeer antlers for every child taking part (minimum sponsorship of £2.50 per child applies.)
- Sponsorship forms to help collect that all-important sponsorship for St Clare.
- A certificate of achievement for every pupil who takes part.
- One free Santa suit for a member of your team – you just need to convince your headteacher to wear it and join in with the festive fun!
- The opportunity for a cheque presentation with the children after your event.
