Northside Schools - Fundraising Challenge
Has your school got what it takes to make a real difference to children in Uganda orphaned by HIV?
A - Z Children's Charity is calling on all Northside schools to sign up for our Fundraising Challenge and help contribute to their 2009 Paediatric Centre Construction Project. A - Z Children's Charity wants 4th years and other school students to come up with innovate ways to raise funds for this important project that will see a specialist centre built in Uganda to help thousands of children and families access testing, medication and ongoing treatment they need to live a normal healthy life.
Could you team up with classmates to organise a sporting tournament, a school drama, a fashion show, or even a 24-hour stay awake or 12 hour fast for example?
Do you have other ideas of your own about how your year could pull together and raise more than your nearest neigbouring school?
We want to hear from you. If you are interested and want to request a fundraising suggestion pack and event toolkit, please contact Lisa on lisanicole.dunne@gmail.com for more information.
Dublin to Cork Cycle in 48hrs
15th- 17th March. A fun cycle in leprechaun suits! This event is for anybody who is able to cycle a bicycle! We cycle approximately 60 miles a day and we do not cycle fast! I would though recommend that you get good rain gear because when it rained last year, it poured!
You are required to raise a minimum of €800. A-Z Children's charity will provide you with sponsorship cards and letters etc. to help you achieve this amount.
4 Peaks Challenge
Climb the 4 highest peaks in each of the 4 provinces of Ireland in 48 hours. June Bank Holiday Weekend (Friday 29th May- Monday 1st June). This is a unique event which includes a helicopter ride from Mweelrea in County Mayo to Slieve Donard in County Down. A good level of fitness is necessary. We will be doing 4 training hikes on each of the four mountains. This is great preparation and also a chance to meet the other adventurers!
You are required to raise a minimum of €1500. A-Z Children's Charity will provide you with transport, hot food, chocolate, fruit, tea and coffee straight off the mountain- what more do you need!
