5km run for the CATS Foundation – Update
Thank you to those of you who have signed up to do the 5km race for THE CATS FOUNDATION – here is an update for the event! Those of you who are yet to do this there is still time to sign up easily here.
The race is due to start at 13:30 and the event details can be found at the bottom of the page
Sponsorship for the 5km run
We have had people ask us about getting sponsored to run the 5km so I have put a sponsorship form together which you can use to collect donations. To receive a copy please contact us stating you would like the form and we can email this to you.
As we are still in the process of getting the charity registered (this takes ages!) we are not yet able to use the online fund raising tools like Just Giving.
If you use the sponsorship form to collect donations you can then directly donate this money to the charity by either bank transfer, PayPal (stating that the donation is for he 5km run) or going into Lloyds bank and putting it straight into the charity account.
To get these details fill in the form requesting the charity bank details and they will be sent to your email address.
Plan for the day
The 5km run is scheduled to start at 13:30. We will be there from 12:00 and will set up a section near the start/finish line.
If you look out for THE CATS FOUNDATION logo you will be able to find us as we will be setting up our banner with it on!
The event website can be found here which has additional details about the run.
